When Una Griffin was made redundant she used the opportunity to set up her own jewellery business - Lovu.

‘What’s on Your Mind?” asks Facebook. And it’s nice to be asked, though I’m suddenly aware that I don’t really have anything on my mind. I curse the little blank space on Facebook waiting for me to insert some witty precis of my current state of mind.
