    Ok, this is mainly aimed at the ladies but boys please don't feel you're excluded :p

    I have a subscription to Marie Claire (not for much longer, poss as they're annoying me :mad:) I also read Vogue, Zest & get The Sunday Times, which has it's own magazine & a Style magazine. Generally once I've read them they go into recycling unless I really want to keep them so if anyone would like some back copies I'm happy to post them over :D

    have to confess that I do sometimes read them in the bath though... :o

    I'd to have some free magazines but .................Sorry to be a pain in the derrier - I only read new scientist and MBR :rotfl:

    :DGlad you've embraced pig tails:D

    I don't know what MBR is but I suspect it's not a relaxing read in the bath :rotfl:

    Just read your diary post, sounds like you did all have swine flu :eek:

    Hope OH is ok soon. Do you feel better for having had the talk with your supervisor?

    That's a girl thing. Genetically programmed not to fight our corner in such a way but keep the peace & hold things together.

    You did the right thing :)
