Those who took part in our 2010 'Doing Money Differently' survey were entered into a draw to win signed copies of Sheconomics (by Karen Pine and Simonne Gnessen) and The Do Something Different Journal: 100 Ways to Shake Up Your Life (by Professors Ben Fletcher and Karen Pine).

Congratulations to our five lucky winners, who were:

1. Take charge of my finances more (66%)
2. Get better value for money (63%)
3. Plan my financial future (62%)
4. Be more responsible with money (59%)
5. Plan how to make more money (56%)

When asked if they’ve worried about money in the last 7 days, two thirds of women say they have. That’s just one of the findings from our research into women’s relationship with money.

Our survey has also shown that:

• 70% of women said they shop to cheer themselves up
• More than half said they hit the shops when they feel low
• One in five women say they’d recently bought something that they will never wear or use
• A quarter of the women in our survey had spent £100 or more than they needed to in the last seven days
• And more than one in four have felt guilty or ashamed after a shopping trip
