My car was booked in for a full service and MOT, so I left early and dropped it off in the garage in Canterbury. I walked from there into the shop, Demelza. It was not a long walk. Another really good day and I managed to sell my first wedding dress. I must have spent about two hours helping the bride to be. She was out celebrating her 30th birthday the previous evening and the gift from her fiance was tickets to Las Vegas and then he suggested they married while they were there and they were flying out tomorrow! So, it was rather urgent. The whole of our downstairs showroom is packed with wedding clothes. The shop was previously a wedding gown shop and the kind people gave us their left over gowns. The only problem was the girls height, she was very short and didn’t have time to get anyone to shorten them I did suggest she could do it on the flight preventing boredom!  We did have a lot of fun while she was trying them all on and I was trying to button her into size 8’s.

Eventually we found a beautiful beaded bodice, a plain silk skirt with a train AND a veil. The only thing we didn’t have was a garter! She really was so happy and gave me a big hug and told Jack (assistant manager) I was a great asset to Demelza. It’s a shame I don’t need anything for a CV any more! Our manager doesn’t work on Monday so Jack is always in charge on my day and he is lovely…..

 He was voted Charity Retail Associations young volunteer of the year in 2015 and is now assistant manager for Canterbury. He always tells us that Monday is his favourite day of the week because we all get on so well. We really do have a lot of fun and the day goes really quickly AND today we actually beat our target which is very good for January.
Mal met me when I finished work and we took a cab to the garage to collect the car. An extra £90 for the work they notified Mal needed doing so not too bad.
