Newish member saying hello! · TraceyAnn

Hi I have been an onlooker for a while now so I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself properly. I started out in accountancy in 1985, working my way up to audit senior and qualifying as an AAT in 1991. I decided to leave in 1992 and set up as a freelance which I did for a few years until my eldest so...

The young office junior asks his senior if he can throw out all the records on file that are older than 1945. The senior answers yes, as long...

Hi, my name is Terri and I am 27 years old. Until having my two children (aged 2 and a half and 11 weeks old) I worked for a large insurance company for just over 5 years.
