Hey, great to see next week's covers of Woman's Own & Woman tonight,before they hit the shops tomorrow, after my comments last week!! Hope this will continue! Now,regarding Y. Summers comments about Loose Women, well i love them! Especially Jane & Coleen. So i'm happy to see them on the cover anytime,and obviously you must sell more copies when you have L.W covers, otherwise you wouldn't have them! But i do agree there are other popular celebrities who could be on the front cover- just to see how they sell! For instance, Christine Bleakley or Amanda Holden. They are in the news a lot and would be a change from Fern Britton, lovely though she is! Having said that, i think it's great that you have 'older' women on your cover, like Fern & Judy Finnigan,unlike a lot of youth-obsessed women's mags nowadays! For example, it was brilliant to see 66 year-old Arlene Phillips on your cover a few weeks ago. I'm 34 by the way,incase anyone was wondering!! Hope you will consider my cover thoughts! Regards, Lisa

Many, MANY years ago (about 50) an illustrator called Robb (?) enchanted me with his depictions on story pages. Any chance these are available anywhere? Possibly in your archives? I long to see them again.

I would like to know why virtually every issue has articles on Loose Women. You seem to have forgotten they are many other popular personalities on TV that are more worthy of mention.

This is trivial, but why have you stopped showing a picture of the latest front cover until after it's already in the shops?! I used to love being able to see on the Monday evening, who was on the front cover of Woman's Own and Woman the next day. It made me look forward to going to the shop to buy them! But the last few weeks it's been Wednesday or Thursday when the latest issue appears. Like i said,it's trivial bit i just really wanted to know why? It is rather lazy of you!!

Hi , I write short articles based on real life events, that are more " fillers" than stories, and I was wondering how I could send them to you to see if they would be of any use? They tend to be quite humerous and I was hoping to cheer people up ! Thanks a million, Sharon

Can't find the empire-line Per Una dress that you included on page 11 on your 22 June 09 issue within Per Una webside. Can you advise product code so i can go back to M&S as I'd really like to buy it. I've found the shrug.

I write short stories and thought they'd be ideal for your magazine, but I live abroad and there's nowhere on your website to submit ideas or articles or a contact email apart from an advertising one. How do I submit stories? Thanks for your time. Moya McDermottt

Hi Hoping you can help, but it is a bit of a long shot. I was wondering if you can purchase back dated copies of Womans Own and if you can trace back the particular issue Im interested in by an article? The reason Im asking is because I had an excellent reading done by your then physic Dennis Mc Kensie over four years ago, and Ive kept a copy of that issue ever since unfortuately the cupboard I was storing it in became very damp and my copy has been completely ruined. It would be very much appreciated if you can help Best Wishes Amanda Priestley
