How to have a baby girl............or not!

IS there really anything you can do to help choose the sex of your baby?

I was one of 3 and always wanted 3 children. My first two children were boys and when Rob and I decided we wanted another baby we both were fully prepared to have three boys. Deep down we would have liked a girl first or second time around too but a healthy baby was our main priority. On a visit to the doctors I mentioned that we would like another child and asked the doctor if she knew any tips for having a girl. The doctor laughingly mentioned that she had heard a rumour that the nursery rhyme 'What are little girls made of' had had positive results. That is, 'sugar and spice and all things nice'.

My top ten tips for a prospective franchisee. Can you add to them?

THERE are a number of Do's that any prospective franchisee should consider.

1. Do meet with the franchisor. This is the beginning of a relationship and it is important that you trust and get on with the franchisor.

2. Do talk or meet with existing franchisees. Ask for full access to all franchisees to make sure you are not just speaking to the more successful ones.

3. Do fully understand the commitment you are making. This will be your business and you should understand the skills you require and those you might have to bring in.
