Description

So, you're a modern woman who thinks she knows everything there is to know. You probably own at least one matching bra and knickers set. You may have a career, your own place to live, white goods, and I bet you've got several pairs of impractical shoes that could possibly cause bunions in later life - very grown up. Hold it right there. Just because you know more than your mum does (bless her) about networking and the latest fashions doesn't mean that you know it all. For instance, do you know how to throw a punch What about when it comes to real estate: ever bought an apartment Do you know how to ask your boss for a raise Ever handwashed a dry-clean only item How would you cope if you caught an STD Have you worked out how to programme your DVD player yet And one of the most important questions of all, do you know how to always get a good haircut If you answered no to any of the above questions, then you should find invaluable advice in this survival guide.
