That’s a job with your name written all over it, Nina.

That was the main reaction when I told many of my friends of the details of a vacancy I’d just seen in a shop window.

You’d be perfect for it , you adore what they sell in fact you’re the queen of them if most of your purchases are anything to go by and what was it you were saying about you wanting to do a job that has some meaning behind it and isn’t just about putting in the hours to get the money it churns out at the end of the week.

So I took a chance sent off the on line application form, partook in an interview and found out a couple of days later that I’d been successful in clinching the position.

And so Ladies and gentlemen may I introduce you to Nina Page , not only your very own girl from the neck down and reigning buying secondhand monarch but now also deputy manager of one of the charity shops on Gillingham high street .
