Lesley's Bit of Everything (Free subscription) | yesterday
Hi all I’ve just returned from a glorious week in Southern France. We had a fantastic 2 bedroom very old ‘mid terrace’ house 10 minutes walk from the Cite. It had been fully modernised to a high level, 2 bathrooms, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. As state of the art hob for which you needed a degree to work it :) A roof terrace which we sat out on quite a lot in the...

Plenty of sights and sounds on the River Nile cruise, both from the boat and also on shore. One of the things which everyone highlights is "security" in relation to the tourists. In view of the attacks in tourist resorts over the past years Egypt has recruited thousands of "tourist police" to supplement the normal militia, army and normal Police force - however, there have to be...

My daughter and I enjoyed that clip. We're both on Team We-Hate-Twilight, which makes for interesting times since we seem to be surrounded by Twilight fans, her being a cynical teenager raised on "Buffy" and me surrounded by middle-aged women at work who loved the Twilight books and now the movies. Ugh!

You know I love organizations like Kiva that help people make a living, especially with green projects, folk medicines, etc. Well, it's present season and you might want to consider some of these great three-season silk and bamboo scarves that are made with pesticide free materials and low impact dyes, made by these women in Chang Mai, Thailand.

Since I’m generalizing…. I’m the CEO of a company that employs about 150 people, 97% of them are women. After 15 years as a chief executive, I observe no evidence whatsoever that women get along with each other better than men — and the women are the first to point this out. I do see talented [...]

Infertility (Free subscription) | 11/03/2009
I've now finished my first course of Clomid! Really hoping that it works! Haven't had too many side effects, thankfully. Have been having hot flushes (now I sympathise with all the middle age women at work!) which has been making it a bit difficult to sleep, so I'm a bit tired at the moment! Other than that it's not been too bad! I've got to go for a scan tomorrow to make sure that it is all ok, then...

When I am at work, the men often say sexually suggestive comments to the women, rub their shoulders and make the stereotypical women jokes. Now I have reported these men on numerous occasions but all they get is a warning. The main problem is that the other women are laughing it off and telling me [...]

A Girl's Guide to Managing Projects (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009
The Equality Bill is still – yawn – going through Parliament. And while I’m not a huge fan, the Bill does include reforms on equal pay laws, and that I support. Who wouldn’t want more money? Seriously though, the statistics are shocking: 39% of male project managers earn over £50k, but only 19% of female project managers [...] Related posts: Equal pay I ruined another...
