Happy Women's Day!

I celebrated by wearing a dress and feeling more feminine. DH asked what I was celebrating and did we need to go out for dinner as I was all dressed up

1968, we've just moved into the run-down Victorian terrace we've bought via a council mortgage.
I go to the Electricity Board shop in the high street to buy a fridge. DH and I have a joint bank account in the branch of Lloyds which is practically next door.
But I have to get permission from husband to buy the fridge!!

So yes.... Happy International Women's Day

Gorgeous.

Fallingstar and Chocolatelovinggran thank you, we were very touched by their kind gesture 😊

That is wonderful V3ra.

My daughter-in-law and I have been given a posy of mimosa by the resort team 😊

Oh, wow, thank you, FranP what a lovely addition to the thread.

I’ve been to a woman’s peace ‘do’ (Quakers )and several had been to Greenham Common as ‘stayers’ (started 1981). I’m now debating whether to go to the women’s interfaith Iftar (end of Ramadan) very strong and intelligent women there in our group and their girls. It’s a matter of energy and concentration… I’ll miss the food if I don’t….

Happy Birthday to those born on this day.

Well done and thank you to the wonderful women who have trailblazed over the years for justice and equality, including your mum Wyllow

I wish the process wasn't so slow though and could spread across the world.

Happy Women's Day!! We have a lot to celebrate but thoughts for those women who don't have our freedoms.

Happy international women’s day

It’s also one of my DD’s birthday today, a significant one! She’s a fine example, as is her sister, of what women can achieve. No one messes with them! Plus their brothers are fully onboard, too. Win:win.

Happy IWD and happy birthday Mell and Viceversa! 🎂 🎂

I still remember my mother, born 1918, being absolutely incandescent after she rang the tax office to enquire about her tax refund.

The man on the other end told her ‘This isn’t your money, it’s your husband’s.’ 🤬

This would have been late 60s/very early 70s.

And only just before I started working for an airline in the early 70s, the rule about female cabin crew having to leave if they got married, was scrapped. Their husbands wouldn’t like them having to stay away from home! Who was going to cook their dinners and iron their shirts??

Naturally nothing was said about randy first officers who slipped notes under your hotel room door, saying, ‘The door is open, come and kiss me goodnight…’

Happy Birthday viceversa

Happy International Women’s Day, one and all.

Let’s raise a glass to all achievements, large and small, professional and personal.

Do we get chocolate? I told DP it was a special day for us women and he said he would cook lunch today, what a bonus.
Women hold families together, they are the glue.😃
