A survey for the ladies

Gail Vaz-Oxlade has a survey out for ladies right now. If you wish to participate, please enter the following questions into an email to getgvo@gmail.com

If you are not a Gail follower and would like to include 'referred by jolie at shakingthmoneytree.blogspot.com' in the subject line of the email I would appreciate that as there is a lil competition of sorts.

The prize is a Gail book. If I win, I will buy another copy and run a contest for my readers and mail it to you.

Of course if you are a Gail follower I expect you'll pop your own name there.
