Magazines Overload

I have magazines coming out of my ears at the moment. My mother passes them onto me when she gets them from my grandmother. I don't have a daughter to pass on to.

Do doctors surgeries still take them?

    Hi Lucy,

    I work in a surgery and we have had to stop taking them at the moment and remove all old ones due to a fear of cross infection from the swine flu. Previous to that we were always very grateful for any. I think it depends on where you live and the local Health Authority's guide lines re swine flu!

    thanks for the replies guys. I took them to the surgery but as they were ranging from xmas year (1) and within the last 6-12 months, they didn't want them. That was a wasted journey.

    Think I will pop round to my neighbours and see if she would like them.
