Hi Doreen,
I am no longer "it" so I am unlikely to find myself in your position
because of DP. But many times I have felt I could do with a telephone
recorder for my other job. Of course inform the other person that I am
recording the conversation which will really get them going.
Tempting ... I can see one here for circa 50 GBP (no connection with the
company). Don't wrap the URL.

There you go, I'll help you kick start an early Friday.
