Goldengirl from Paddy Power Bingo
Q1: Tell us a little bit about you.
I'm a 32 year old married mum to two boys, one 14, the other about to turn 4. When I'm not busy working for Paddy, I'm running my husbands security firm.
When I have some spare time (which isn’t to often) I like to sit down with a glass or two of vino and a good book. Mind you, I've been reading Dannii Minogues autobiography for the last 3 weeks lol so that might show how much spare time I have lol.
Q2: How long have you been a Chat Host?
Erm, yikes 6 and a half years! For four of those I have been working at the best site ever... Where?? PaddyPower lol.
Q3: How did you become a Chat Host?
My son was in school, my hubby was at work, and my full time job was a bar manager, but at the time we were having a refurb so I had 8 glorious weeks off!
Though, glorious wasn't really the case, I was so bored. I had an email one day offering me £10 free to play on a site, so I signed up, played the £10, and enjoyed the chat. I deposited another £10, and was completely in love with on-line bingo. I became a regular and after talking to one of the CM’s figured out I'd be a great CM, so she hooked me up with a friend of hers who was a manager, and hey presto, I got the job.
And so here I am, a fully fledged CM!
Q4: What do you like most about the job?
The chat... I love how people from all sides of the country come together and enjoy each other’s company. It’s not like anything I’ve ever known, and everyone is liked, regardless of who they are, where they work, what they wear, or look like. It really does come down to what your personality is like (which is how it should be in the real world).
Q5: What is the worst part of the job?
The players that come on site to try and spoil other peoples fun. I especially dislike those who come on site whinging like mad, and say something really nasty and do a runner out the back door.
Q6: Which are your favorite chat room games?
I love Horse races and donkey derby. I like watching players try and mount there nags and dangle carrots for those who just refuse to move off the marker.
Q7: What is the funniest thing that has ever happened whilst you have been in a chat room?
I have been asked so many times and I think its now between two. Me going into labour during my shift, and Paddys 1st birthday Party where Paddy came into the room himself. Players bombarded him all night with questions and naughty inuendo’s I would have loved to have seen his face that night, because if he thought his players were well behaved boy was he wrong lol
Q8: What makes a good Chat Host?
Me lol... Oh in general lol... You have to have a great bubbly personality. Someone that likes to chat (likes playing bingo also helps), friendly, genuinely a good all round gal/guy.
Q10: Any other comments that you'd like to add about being a Chat Host?
This is the best job ever, the satisfaction is out of this world, There are not many people who can say they enjoy going to work, and who can work in their P.Js!
All the team here at CMOTY would like to say a big 'TY' to Goldengirl.
