    • alidunnell January 25, 2017

      Thanks for the constructive feedback Swims… This page did look a bit lame. I have updated the page, so hopefully it is not quite so mediocre! Hope you like the rest of my website. Ali

      • Swims January 25, 2017

        No I was not referring to your web page yours looks mighty fine I was seeing could you take the time out and help me with my webpage it seems a bit dull. Lol

        • alidunnell January 25, 2017

          Sorry Swims… I will have a look at yours. To be honest, just spend a bit of time on it. Post things that interest you and try to write something someone would want to read and that someone would enjoy looking at. I have been doing mine for about 4 years now and get more confident and competent as I go. Good luck. Ali

    You worked for the T&A and I used to work selling advertising for the Dewsbury Reporter 😉

    • Ali Dunnell October 22, 2017

      It’s a small world – when did you work there? I was there between 2006 – 2008

      • roseelaineblog October 22, 2017

        It was the mid 90s I think, I was the out of area rep, getting people to advertise within our newspapers circulation, it was fun for a few years then I moved on to working for TNT selling distribution services.
