Hi everyone,

Didnt quite know where to post but am having some real money issues.I recently spent all of our savings on a franchise that was an utter disaster.I am an intelligent wise woman who researched it so well but found it was all based on a lot of lies and so many hidden situations that I could never have foreseen.Anyway its all over now and has been for a few months but I am devastated and feel like such a failure.To my family and to myself.My self esteem is at an all time low.My husband is now working so hard just to keep us afloat and I just feel so stupid.I dont know what advice any of you may be able to provide but it is getting me into a very sad space and I just cant get on top again.

Obvious ones would be the broadsheets. Or if you could bear it its got DM written all over it, plucky lady entrepreneur ripped off by evil franchise witch... and great that you have got other victims to hand (Iyswim;))

So, try one at a time, and pitch it according to the paper..

Its been a while since I did this stuff, but it is important to get the names of the people and pitch direct to them.

Cool,am writing a draft right now.I have always been a doer'so writing a piece can be a small move towards closure.The ladies involved I assume have all been asked to sign something similar so we have very little contact although I hear bits here and there and she is still reeling them in..one by one and it makes me crazy!It is amazing how good it feels just to write it down.Thank you very much for your suggestions.Watch this space.
