Welcome to the WHAT UK WOMEN WANT web site.

This site is for YOU.

In life you must do what is right for YOU at that time. What is right for you now may not be what you want in 10 years time. You can make changes to your life whenever the time is right for you.
Others will try to help you through the various crisis points in your life. Don't be influenced by others into doing something you will regret later.
Take your time when making major decisions that will affect the rest of your life. MAKE MAJOR CHANGES WHEN IT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOU
whatever they are.




How often have you thought
'Where can I find out.....?' Or 'That's useful, that would help.......' OR 'If only I had known that when....'

Together we can collect that information and record it here for future use when we really need it.

Do you know of any female builders, plumbers, electricians, painters and decorators, carpenters, gardeners anywhere in the country? I am being asked for a plumber and builder in London/ Middlesex, a gardener near Sudbury in Suffolk and a carpenter, plumber, decorator and electrician in Essex

HAVE YOU BEEN CAUGHT BY THE TELEPHONE SCAM?
YOU GET A RECORDED MESSAGE TELLING YOU TO RING 0905000729x TO CLAIM YOUR £800 WORTH OF PRIZES


you ring the number, there is a recorded voice and you answer a number of questions via the telephone key pad including your mobile network, likes and dislikes etc. You are then told to text your name and address and your claim reference to another number 0796157262x. The voice also tells you that you will not be notified that your text has been received but to wait for up to 45 days to receive your prize. When you send the text it is rejected. My mobile is set to let me know when my messages are read. This telephone scam has you on the line for about 5 minutes at premium rate. THE FULL TELEPHONE NUMBER AND TEXT NUMBER HAVE NOT BEEN DISPLAYED HERE AND WILL PROBABLY CHANGE SO BE CAREFUL.

SUCCESS
I received the following e-mail from someone who had visited the site and thought you might like to share it.
"Please will you thank the person who posted the pictures of Sri Lanka, especially the cemetery at Trincomolee. The information given there allowed me to find my fathers grave in Columbo cemetery within three days where I had been searching for over twenty five years!
Very emotional male. 3rd May 2002
Thank you"

Next Episode
Due to your site I have now managed to piece together the story behind the accident in which my dad died, due to overwhelming support from all over the world. I am in close contact with a chap in Canada whose father died on the same plane who thinks it incredible that we have come together after all these years, and a Sri Lankan friend recently went home for three weeks and managed to find Dads grave and took photos for me and brought them back. AND I am also in contact with two chaps who worked with Dad when he was stationed out there. All I can say is that my God is not the WWW but I feel he must have played a major part in all of this.
Wishing you and all the ladies Peace, Happiness and Love
Very emotional male. Date 7th March 2003

MEDIA RESEARCH - CAN YOU HELP? BACK TO TOP

I AM LOOKING FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THEIR HUSBAND OR PARTNER ARE GAY I am currently looking for couples to feature in an ITV documentary about redefining relationships after the male partner has come out and declared that his is gay or bi-sexual.
We intend to make a hour programme that will look at this subject in a very sensitive and sympathetic light. The Producer Director Benetta Adamson is an accomplished and recognised Documentary maker and has produced some outstanding films including one on Thalidamide
I would be interested into talking to any couples or families who have experiences in this situation.
I can be contacted on my mobile at any time - 07973-823434 or the office number is 0207-490 8996.
Many thanks for your help

AIMS OF THE SITE BACK TO TOP

Look at this as a starting place for information, for experience, for ideas, for goods and services etc. Someone, somewhere has already asked the question and eventually found the answer you are looking for. Whether this is women's finance, relationships, support groups. Look at sharing experiences as well as how companies deal with women when supplying goods and services.

GOODS AND SERVICES BACK TO TOP

Do you know any professional and trades people that offer a good service to women? Please share them with the rest of us. There are lots of internet web sites springing up offering goods and services but it is the same as looking in any other directory. You do not know what you are getting until you try it. On this site, hopefully, we can find good companies that we can all share.


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BACK TO TOP

Do you have a question? Someone out there has the answer or can show you how to find the answer. Someone has had a similar experience and can tell you how they dealt with it. Sometimes you don't know there is a question to ask because you don't know the subject exists. By reading information and other enquiries on this site, hopefully, we will all learn something new.

SHARE BACK TO TOP

You have the information - share it. Don't let us all reinvent the wheel. Add your information, however insignificant or obvious it may seem, to the range of information on the site and provide additional information to help other women.

Just because your mother, great aunt etc. does not have a computer or you are not on the Internet does not mean their/your views cannot be heard. You can do it for them, put forward their views. Better still show them how to use an Internet café!! You may even make new friends.

WHERE DO YOU GO? BACK TO TOP

Women are always getting together, whether with family, friends, work colleagues or groups with similar interests for coffee, lunch, drinks, dinner, a weekend away, a holiday or just company. Where do you go? Tell us all your great experiences. We all have our own BAD experiences.

There are women who live alone and holiday alone, through no choice of theirs. They have split up with a long term partner or their partner has died. They have moved to a new job, or to a new area where they do not know anyone. They do not know their neighbours and have family, sometimes hundreds of miles away that they contact infrequently. They do not have someone to fall back on when things go wrong. Share those women friendly places.

This site is aimed at giving you the companies and/ or places to go where you are the one paying the account and where you receive good attention or service.
There are a lot of women traveling around the country and abroad alone for work and pleasure. Can you recommend somewhere for morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, an overnight stay, a pub, a wine bar where they can go and feel comfortable alone. It is no fun sitting in a hotel room or your car because you cannot find anywhere suitable to go.

WHICH OTHER WEB SITES FOR WOMEN HAVE YOU FOUND USEFUL? BACK TO TOP

This site aims to give an insight to many areas and how to obtain more in depth information for a specific topic.
There are a number of web sites for women that deal with specific areas such as feminism, professional women in a geographic area, travel etc.

Which are the good ones?

DISCLAIMER BACK TO TOP

Although great care has been taken in the compilation and preparation of the information on this site to ensure accuracy, no responsibility for loss occasioned to any person acting, or refraining from acting as a result of the material on the WhatUKWomenWant.co.uk site will be accepted by WhatUKWomenWant or the contributors.

Each of us is an individual and what works for one person will not necessarily work for everyone. The advice given is to help you make an informed decision that is right for you. You may get conflicting advice because everyone's circumstances are different. For example there is the married woman whose husband had an affair and whom she believes may still be having affairs. She meets someone and falls in love but her financial standing in the new relationship will not be on a par with the one she shares with her husband. She is used to the lavish lifestyle and decides that she prefers the lifestyle to the affair/ commitment of the new relationship. For someone in a lesser financially secure situation happiness may be preferable.
