To have purchased Hello! magazine

To have a nose at Peaches Geldof's wedding photos and also Brian Westlifes.

Blush

What do I have to do to cancel it out and make amends?

Subscribe to the TLS. it's good for lighting the fire

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 11:02

Good idea Yokel. I was thinking National Geographic possibly too.

I would never dream of purchasing Hello.

(I read it at the dentist. She always wonders why I get there so early!)

To make amends you must eat the magazine. You are allowed a single glass of water.

DH works next door to a newsagent. He brings me one every week with the cover ripped off (doesn't pay for it!Grin)
We're in Australia, so it saves me going on the Daily Mail website for gossip Blush

Can I shred it first flat? Grin

The pictures of both weddings are v lovely sharks. Wink

I would never dream of purchasing Hello either. Therefore I asked DP to purchase it for me as a subscription Wink

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 14:14

I think it's worse because I bought it specifically to have a nose. Grin

Good ol Bob gurning on the cover Grin. Peaches does look gorgeous and that baby is so scrumptious!

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 14:39

I think they all look fabulous (Peache's wedding not necessarily Bri's) and Tiger Lily is all grown up. And Parpy running down the aisle with the rings. Grin I have just flicked through, just a little bit. Got to hide it from DH.

Yabu unless you were low on toilet paper or as someone said, kindling.

TheBigJessie · 11/09/2012 15:08

I think you may be beyond redemption!

Buy The Spectator, The Oldie and Private Eye. That should do it. Until next time.

squoosh · 11/09/2012 15:10

I thought Hello had sworn off celeb stuff.

Thanks for reminding me though that I need to buy a copy of this month's Vanity Fair. Want to read about Tom Cruise's wife procuring tactics.

BoomerGold · 11/09/2012 15:11

When I felt like it I'd buy all those magazines in one go.

Then I'd realise they all had the same stories except for the exclusive wedding pics in OK! and Hello! (Aren't they the same bloody mag??)

I'd feel cheated out of a tenner.

DuelingFanjo · 11/09/2012 15:12

I rushed to the work shop to buy it but no sign. Went to Tesco, no sign. They must have printed late so it won't get to Wales until Wednesday, just like the old days Grin

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 15:15

Kim thingy from Corrie's wedding is in OK! Plus Chantelle talking about that meathead she has dumped. Hello! definitely more interesting IMO.

Oooh Private Eye Jessie, I may get that. I saw Viz at the garage the other day. i couldn't believe it was still going.

Good for you, i am secretly envious of people who can pick up a Hello magazine with no sense of shame, and gloat and glean over Celebrity gossip.

newmum001 · 11/09/2012 15:18

Who did Brian from Westlife marry? Him and Delta Goodrem didn't split up that long ago! X

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 15:18

Serve yourself tills are good sometimes crypes. Grin

I bought OK magazine for Posh and Becks wedding photos, also Wayne and Coleen's (that one's a bit more embarassing).

I do like a weekly dollop of Grazia though. And I may or may not be spotted leafing through the odd copy of Heat magazine.

Sparklingbrook · 11/09/2012 15:19

Someone called Vogue newmum. I need to read it and find out who she is. Grin

OP posts:
squoosh · 11/09/2012 15:21

She's an Irish reality celeb. I seriously doubt her real name is Vogue though. Bet she's actually a Maureen.

newmum001 · 11/09/2012 15:28

Vogue? I can just imagine what she looks like. Gonna nip to tesco for sausages in a minute, i hope a copy if Hello doesn't jump off the shelf and land in my basket!

FIFIBEBE · 11/09/2012 15:39

I wonder if you could confirm my suspicion that Bob Geldof has had a little "work" done? on the cover of Hello he looks quite "taut" I was unable to look inside but am still wondering an hour later. Thought Peaches looked lovely. TIA
