Had a lie-in as Nicky opened the shop.

At about 2 p.m. I was chatting to Nicky when a customer came to the counter.

Customer: This book is £3.50. I want it for £3.

[I could see Nicky gritting her teeth]

Nicky: No, I’m afraid we can’t let it go for that. It’s £3.50.

Customer: Hmm, well, if that’s the case, I suppose I’ll pay the full price then. Do you have something I can put it in, like a grocery bag?

Nicky: Yes, you can have a bag, but we have to charge you 5p.

The customer said no, muttered something about being ripped off, then produced a plastic bag from her pocket.

Nicky revealed the Bratz doll which she’d applied a makeover to. It looks exactly like me.

Finished Down and Out in Paris and London.

Till Total £292.50
