Eva Smith's Diary

December 7th, 1910

Thank God for influenza!

This morning I walked past this really posh shop that sells pretty clothes for rich people – Milwards – and I saw a sign in the window saying they had a couple of vacancies.

I had always wanted to work in a shop like that and so I decided to ask if the vacancies had been filled.

I couldn't believe my luck when they said I could work there. Apparently quite a few of their staff were ill, so they were short staffed.

They gave me a uniform that I will have to wear – a lavender blouse and black skirt with stockings and shoes – and explained that I would have to work between 9am till 4.30pm.

My wages will be4 shillings a week. I can afford to buy myself some nice clothes as well as pay the rent and buy some food.
