    Hi Everyone,

    Long time no chat! ?

    I work for Yell.

    Yellow Pages, yell.com and 118 247 (yes that annoying tune you couldnt get out of your head a few months ago!)

    I did work in sales but moved dept to be a customer liason executive, BO-RING, but its a 8.30 - 5 mon-fri and you cant get that much these days..... can be quite stressful at times but its still a holiday camp compared to be a stay at home mum!! i have 2 young boys and to those ladies who do it - i salute you all!!!!!

    Yes over the phone. It was a Scottish girl yes. The lady I always speak says every year what a nice job it must be (mine) and what a nice website I've got. But maybe you're trained to say that to everyone ?
