1. Our name was going to be “Pay as you go Office Pro,” which Dan said was rubbish. When asked
if he could do better he said immediately, “Essex Girls,” and the rest is history.
2. Even though Davina has never dunked biscuits, she doesn’t like finding bits of dunked biscuit in
the bottom of her cup. She knows this because Deb used to dunk her biscuits in Davina’s tea
as a child.
3. Although Deb had a dunking habit (which she swears she has cured), Claire is the real Biscuit
Monster … and Chocolate Monster. How does she stay so slim? Oh yeah, she never sits still.
4. We have won and been nominated for many writing and design awards. That’s because we love
our work and we come up with some brilliant ideas (even though we say so ourselves).
5. Davina writes stuff that can have you in stitches, but she can’t tell a joke without …
a) saying the punchline in the wrong place
b) digressing so much she forgets the point of the joke causing you to lose
the will to live
c) laughing so much (because she – and only she - knows it’s funny) that her
tea comes out of her nose and then …
a) she says the punchline in the wrong place.
Please, please NEVER ask Davina to tell you a joke.
6. The girls all have their own offices and a meeting room, but can often be found huddled together
round one desk when brainstorming as they get better ideas that way.
7. Karlie and Kacie are both accountants. To add to the confusion they sound similar on the phone
and until recently were both blonde. Thanks Karlie for going dark brown last month (looks gorgeous
too). Now we just need to get one of them to change their name …
8. As a child, Sarah could play the recorder with her nose and do eight cartwheels in a row (not at
the same time as playing the recorder). She swears she’s no longer a cartwheel queen, but
we’re not so sure. We’ve seen the evidence in the office when she’s been the only one in.
9. Davina used to be a Biochemist. Her interest in science and medicine started quite young.
After reading a book of blood disorders at the age of eight, she and a friend painted themselves
yellow in art class to pretend they had jaundice and get sent home early. Needless to say it didn’t
work and she’s still awaiting royalties from Matt Groening.
10. Dee has an unnatural ability to retain useless information. If you want someone in your pub
quiz team then she’s your girl.
That’s all for now folks.
