    Another hour done:) so thats now 32.75/45 done.

    I have just been to the to BUY my lunch ( I know, I know) and walked passed the magazine shelf and sighed :( Magazines WERE by big weakness. I used to spend lots on mags but have not bought any for months. I just feel like buying a few glossies , going home and putting my feet up for a couple of hours and enjoy myself .


    BUT I am at work and I have to stay here for hours and hours and hours . I can't really afford to buy the mags either. Never mind I'll just have to read a few diaries

    Well I managed 7.75 hrs yesterday bringing my total for this week up to 39.50/45 . So thats 6.25 hrs short of my target:(. I plan to go into work for a couple of hours this morning but need to back my 2pm as DS1 is making his " 1st confession" this afternoon. Might be there for a while:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Re the magazines- why not go online to the Magazine Group.....and sign up for one of their "3 issues for £1" offers.

    Basically, you get 3 issues of She, or Elle, or something similar, for the grand sum of £1 all in, delivered to your door. Of course, they hope you keep your subscription up in which case they will bill you quarterly, but if you cancel before the 3rd issue, they won't bill you.

    So you could opt for 3 issues of She over the next few months, then go for 3 issues of Elle, followed by 3 issues of Red, or whatever!

    It has worked for me for the last three years.......my magazine expenditure must be pretty low and I always seem to have a glossy kicking about the place!!
