Stopcocks - A woman's journey

Money, money, money..

Over the last few days I've spoken to four different people about money and finance.

One said I should go down the traditional route and see a bank, and posed the many questions a bank manager would ask. (He advised that I don't put VW to supply fleet of Caddys, in my business plan. I agreed not to, but secretly I'm confident that somebody will).
One suggested possible answers to all the questions.
One said I would get finance from someone who believed in me and the 'vision'
One said money should not be an issue.

Last night a number cruncher wanted to set up a meeting with me in two weeks time.

What will my world look like in two weeks time?

Why women plumbers

It's probably true to say that when it comes to buying new things for the home, it's the woman of the house that takes charge. She decides what's needed, and then she goes out and chooses it. (She may get someone else to pay for it).

When the house 'breaks' it is usually the woman of the house who notices and wants something done about it.  Now I know it's not ALWAYS the case ......

So, what's next?

Isn't it amazing that when you are feeling passionate about something and it is consuming your thoughts and filling your every waking moment, that  things happen to help you along the way?

I guess this is what Kate Bush was talking about in her song "Strange Phenomenon"

We've all experienced that thing when you happen to be thinking about someone and out of the blue they call you up.

This is what has happened to me in the last week.

Global Water Management

70% of the human body is made up of water.
Experience a 0.5% drop and you feel thirsty.
A 5% drop makes you feel slightlty feverish.
8% and the glands stop producing saliva, the skin turns blue.
After a 10% drop you are unable to walk.
A 12% drop takes you near to death.

With a third of our planet covered with water, why are there places that still have no access to clean water?

Hello Everybody

This is the story of how I got to this place.

Before I continue on there are people to give credit to.
I must say a big  "Thank You" to Roger Hamilton, Daniel Priestley, Michael Clark, Mandy Doyle, Eileen Cann, Annie Meecham, Mica May.
For ages now I've been trying to figure out what I'm going to do in my older years. The thought of not being able to 'plumb' was not one I wanted to contemplate.

Then gradually it started to come to me....
