    mine is to not buy any magazines
    Hi Daisy1973, I so agree with you on magazines. I actually drop any purchases on Mag about 2 years ago. I would only bring some home when I find them in the train. I stack them up and other half from time to time drops then at the hospital & Emergency waiting rooms (All to work on the good balance for the karma :o)

    Am trying to avoid the pound shop!!
    These places are so incredible. I go there for 1 pack of enveloppes and end up with kid stickers etc.. (I don't have any kids :rotfl:)

    I could never give up my books
    Mine will be my tv
    Alyth good luck - This would be a hard one on me to give up.
    I am only giving up books for 1 year. I must clear my backroom and shelves by reading them first. I started my 1st one today

    Actually the cinema for me!
    Hi rictus123, I read the answer on the boxers later on from alyth - please ignore previous posting

    Cinema .. Good choice :beer: That is a serious money saving. I don't personally go as I do DVD rental and would prefer to wait to see a film at home rather than being in uncomfortable seats with noisy popcorn cruncher crowd (God i sound so terrible)

    Karom, I have solved this by looking up my fave book on Amazon, reading the reviews, checking online at the local library and then ordering from them.

    Thanks for the tip. I have been hearing of this type of services and need to look it up.

    What to drop this year......well I would say the boyfriend but already did that in 2009.
    Only one sentence comes to my mind "are you sad or not sad" (this comes from a movie don't ask me which one). Hope all going well for you

    Cheap tatty 'who's got cellulite on their ear' type magazines.
    40p and sometimes on special at 20p (if they are not well they should be) and read in 10 min :rotfl:
    Btw the same information is online on Entertainment section, tmz etc... websites !!!

    Good luck

    I pledge to drop - buying magazines. I have a penchant for BBC Focus and BBC History mags, both cost almost £4 each:eek:. Then there's Empire at almost the same :o. [/QUOTE]

    Thanks for joining. May be Wikipedia can help. I personally quite like the front page with random articles when I look for something else.

    Good luck

    went into two shops today that sell magazines and resisted the urge
    Excellent

    I started myself with 1st book under my arm to go to work. This is ok when it is a small paperback. The hardbacks are going to be a challenge to carry about. I put them aside at present!
