Hi All,
Attention AOL and HOTMAIL users – Re Tip sheet
I’m really sorry if you’ve not been getting ‘Janey’s Tips’ (if you’ve subscribed that is….) I’ve been getting a lot of ‘failed deliveries’ recently and 95% of them seem to be from AOL and Hotmail. Tiscali seems to pop up fairly regularly too.
I think what’s happening is that the tip sheet is being labelled as SPAM by some servers (and individual computers) and is being filtered out before you get it.
In the last few months some service providers have introduced extremely stringent parameters for filtering out SPAM in their increasingly frustrating attempts to eliminate it from the internet. – Honestly, it seems like you only have to have capitol letters and a few exclamation marks before these programmes label it as SPAM.
The side effect of all this is that legitimate mail outs are being deleted. It’s a problem,
And I just wanted to let you know that I’m working on it. I’ve got a new site under development, and a new mail out system which should hopefully sort it, but in the meantime; AOL and Hotmail users, if you can use another email address, please try that. If you’re one of those that registered at the beginning – and still haven’t received a tip sheet – I promise I’ll send you all the ones you’ve missed. There will be a facility in the new site enabling you to get back copies.
And now onto less technical stuff !.....
See me again on The Wright Stuff Channel 5, Wed 17th May, talking about all manner of imperfectly natural bits, should be on the sofa answering questions around 10am. Hopefully I’m going to cover toxic free make-up. Live TV can be very scary, please give me a call on air and ask me something you know that I know!! Also you may have heard the lovely little plug on the excellent new Johnnie Walker Sunday show on May 7th , it was all about ‘loli-boomers’ (yes you’ve heard of yuppies and baby-boomers – we’re now the new big spenders - Its ‘loli’ as in the first two letters of love and light go to www.loliboom.co.uk take the test yourself.
To check out my interview on Johnnie Walker on the BBC’s ‘listen again’ feature. Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/walker/ and click on ‘listen again’
Thank you to everyone who bought the book after hearing the show, it went back to number 23 on Amazon best-sellers (I know it’s not number one again but hey it’s not bad!). By the way if you STILL haven’t got the book – (?) or you need further copies for presents (it’s a wonderful gift cos you’re sharing all these fab tips with your friends) then you should find that all the regular high street bookshops now have it in stock. If they don’t or it’s tucked away in a crafty but inconsequential corner please ask them to put it in a more prominent position!!
Talking bookshops and booksellers I was thrilled to be asked to do a ‘meet the author’ lunch at the Booksellers Association Conference in Bournemouth – you know me, any excuse to see the sea! It was a great opportunity to meet booksellers from the big chains to the independents, wholesalers and publishers and the best thing was that they placed my pic alongside such eminent authors as Terry Wogan, Nigel Havers, Clive James and Billy Bragg !
Coming up on Sat May 20th I’m looking forward to opening the ‘Health and Beauty Training Show’ at Excel in Docklands followed by a talk and signing session at ‘Ottakers’ bookshop in Enfield Middlesex at 3.00pm. Come and meet me if you’re in the area.
Thursday June 7th I’m at a health shop in Pimlico. London (address tbc) and Sat 17th June I’m the speaker at the ABM Association of Breastfeeding Mothers Conference in Birmingham.
There’s lots more but hopefully I’ll update again before long ! Also watch this space for some exciting news on the next book!

Hi everyone,
For those of you wondering why I'm not on the radio this week - Steve Wright, Tim Smith and myself are transferring to the BBC's brand new studios at Broadcasting House in London, and we're all spending a bit of time getting to know the fantastic new state of the art digital system there. - all back to normal next week though.
Did any of you see the article in the Independent on Sunday? A really good 8 page spread of extracts from 'Imperfectly Natural Woman' - there's another 230 pages where that came from, so I really hope it inspired people who read it to seek out a copy of the book. All the shops should be back in stock now, but remember Amazon is always good.
I did a little piece for Sky news this morning on ideas for water saving, also on Anglia news. did anyone see that? (was my hair OK?)
Thanks to my fab new moderators dottyspots and soapnutter the forum is now split into 4 sections, hopefully its now a lot easier to navigate around. I'm so pleased that there are so many of us with like minds all talking together.
Just to remind you again, I'm back on The Wright Stuff Ch 5 this Thursday 6th April so please call in to the show when I'm on - you can ask questions live on air!
Finally, I'm working on some exiting new developments for the website,- audio, video, links to places you can find things, hopefully just a lot more stuff to help us in our quest for an imperfectly natural world!
