“So what do we do first then?” I asked. No-one answered. Instead, everyone stared at Lyndz, who turned pink.

“What are you all looking at?”

“You! You’re the expert!” Kenny told her.

“Oh. Well…” Lyndz frowned and looked round the room. “First we’ve got to paint the woodwork, and let that dry before we start the wallpapering.”

Kenny pulled a face. “Oh, knickers to that! I want to wallpaper – I’m not into boring old paint!”

“Good one!” Kenny said immediately. “That OK with you, Flissy?”

“What?” Fliss hadn’t heard a word because she was too busy admiring her dress and wig in my mirror.

“I said, do you want to help me and Rosie with the wallpapering?” Kenny repeated loudly, rolling her eyes at me.

“Yeah, OK,” Fliss nodded, parading up and down like a supermodel. “I think I look good with black hair, what do you reckon?”

Kenny groaned, and picked up a bucket and a packet of wallpaper paste. “This isn’t a fashion show, Fliss! Come and help me mix up the paste.”

“I told you not to stir it so hard!” Fliss was saying crossly.
