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 karmamine is to not buy any magazines

Hi rictus123, I read the answer on the boxers later on from alyth - please ignore previous postingActually the cinema for me!
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)MFW on your mark0 -
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.
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 youWhat to drop this year......well I would say the boyfriend but already did that in 2009.
40p and sometimes on special at 20p (if they are not well they should be) and read in 10 min :rotfl:Cheap tatty 'who's got cellulite on their ear' type magazines.
Btw the same information is online on Entertainment section, tmz etc... websites !!!
Good luck

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

Excellentwent into two shops today that sell magazines and resisted the urge
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!MFW on your mark0
