Can I ask you what magazine subscriptions you're starting in 2025?

Just that really. Magazines feel a bit old fashioned. But I just spent a pleasant afternoon at the coffee shop flipping through some glossy magazines. Very nice. So, inspired, I came home and opened up a Homes and Gardens subscription. It'll make me unhappy as I have a major house/garden envy. But the beast needs to be fed....😳😂

Oh interesting! What do you hope to do with the qualification? I feel like I missed a taster type of career. Mind you, since COVID my palate is shot so perhaps it's best my income stream isn't based on that 😅

@DaphneLaurel I use a mobile phone. I have an old phone that I call my Kindle Phone - I only use it to read on. Granted it doesn't get away from screen time, but it feels like a bit of downtime as I can't get distracted by emails, mindless scrolling etc

Not sure as yet. Already have Level 2 and 3, which were done for fun / personal interest rather than career. I'm now "early retired" (at <55) so can think about what I do next, and that might well be something to do with wine.

(OP - sorry for the thread derail!)

I will carry on with my People's Friend subscription and hopefully set up Yours and Woman's Weekly too. Find they are good all round for stories articles cooking knitting or crafts etc

None

But I have been given some free magazines at car boot sales, which I have not read yet

Some Woman's weekly, wildlife. cookery

I will give away once finished
