Pearly Re: Zip 'n Squeeze Products

[Guest guest]

Hi Pearly!

was indeed called away for about three weeks. I think she

returned about a week ago. You might want to email her again or

call her. I bet she got swamped with emails and is still sifting

through them. I know you're in Singapore, but if you can manage a

phone call, you won't be sorry. She's a dream to talk to and full of

great advice.

Irish!
