So what awaits the world of women?

Surely this is rather parochial?President Nixon once said "I’m not for women in any job. I don’t want any of them around. Thank God we don’t have any in the cabinet ...

I think I did something to the Red Tent (Heart of England) that gave members the option of changing the appearance of their page. That might not be the case here.

Looking forward to our card-making!!! I'll be setting off from home at 5 - email me your precise address so I can come and pick you up in the taxi, OK?

xx Jan

I'm going to be doing facials at the Make over day in September - there will be a small charge for that to cover costs! - and I'm always available to do a party in your home for you, family and friends! Hope to see you on Saturday but if not I'll see you at the picnic? xx
