    Did buy Psychologies magazine cause the cover line was about making peace with food and that is something I have issues with. I comfort eat and stress eat (and drink a little bit!).

    I :heart2: Psychologies magazine but will avoid it because I bought InStyle and Marie Claire today for the freebies. I also got Hello and Prudence (an Irish magazine) this week. This needs to stop, most weeks I don't buy any magazines, just papers. This must be why I am forever decluttering :wall:

    I avoided InStyle - didn't really like any of the nail varnish colours. Saw Marie Claire but am trying to resist as I don't usually buy it. Didn't realise Prudence is out, always get that

    How frustrating about the work stuff, horrible when you just want answers :(.
    I'm not sure about the veggies, will just wait and see. Last year there were a few seeds I planted which didn't even begin to grow for about two months!! Was freaky when they eventually started!
    I'm not too bothered about glossy magazines anymore thankfully. I did get glamour last month for the clinique freebie and will possibly get next months for thebenefit goodies. Was going to buy cosmo, they were giving away a choice of two books, one I'd already read. Decided it still wasn't worth 3.50 tho as I'd prob not pay that for a paperback book anyway

    Hopefully the veggies might still just be hibernating! Even though the weather has been great it seems to be taking a while for things to get green.

    I'm really bad for glossies but I have cut down a lot. I used to buy magazines for the freebies but now I ask myself if I'd really use it and a lot of times I wouldn't.

    @Mags - don't know if you ever check out beaut.ie (really good Irish beauty blog review site). Anyway benefit are launching a skincare line and they're offering 6 trial size products for €12 through benefit counters in debenhams. The blog says they launch may 21 but some people commenting said they've got them already. The eye cream is getting very good reviews.

    They prob have an English offer too so something to keep an eye out for.

    NO way of dealing with the little things??? They tend to cause more problems than the big things...
    My seeds seem to be hatching! I know thats now the right word to use but sounds cute
    I'm such a blonde sometimes

    I think it's just PMT, I do know I do get irrational and cranky so if it's still bugging me in a week or so I'll say something!

    Delighted your seeds are hatching! It sounds very cute. I get asked a lot was I born blonde (no offence to any blondes) cause I am unbelievable ditzy at times. Complete brunette though!

    I got it today, it's really cute. The testers are small but it's def worth the price.

    Oh yes, I look at beaut.ie all the time. Remember the Debenhams beauty club freebie I was on about a while ago, it was a version of this but with only 3 items.

    It'll definitely be UK too, probably £10. Benefit is the exact same here as there, Here's the pic http://beaut.ie/blog/2011/benefit-b-right-radiant-skincare-sample-kit-can-be-yours-for-e12/
