GH Get Ahead For Xmas 2018 magazine

Bought this magazine yesterday and really like it.

There's a couple of things that are on their calendar which are later than I'd do them.

The get ahead recipes are great though. All fairly straight forward and a lot of them are crowd pleaders so perfect for entertaining.

Has anyone else bought it?

Where abouts in the wh smiths racks have people found it? Near the normal ghk magazine?

HollyBollyBooBoo · 24/08/2018 10:27

No @balalalala it was further along than the monthly women's mags in WH Smith.

balalalala · 24/08/2018 12:45

OK, thanks! I was looking in the wrong place then!

AmazingGrace16 · 24/08/2018 22:51

Found it in m and s today :)

Tobebythesea · 25/08/2018 16:22

Me too, yay! Going to look at it tonight whilst in the bath Grin

Found in Morrisons today. Only two copies left. One was all bent and tatty. I was devastated as I thought it was the only one left. Luckily though the tatty one was in the wrong place and there was a beautiful pristine one further along the rack. Perfect for a rainy Sunday. Grin

I reckon it's a cruel elaborate hoax or I'm just dreaming this magazine.

NoWordForFluffy · 27/08/2018 16:45

Order it online, 70!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 27/08/2018 16:49

I think I'll have to, I'm getting used to the "Ermmm it's August " from the shops (maybe the shop staff I speak to don't dawdle near the magazines and are secretly dreading the fact that the Christmas stock is in the warehouse waiting to be set out)?

There are Christmas sewing and craft magazines I've seen (and a load of mags that I never knew existed .....one all about Gin! )

Have had no luck with the GH mag, but picked up this little beauty today. DH was a littleHmm

Oh I saw the 'Good Food' magazine (I was in a huge Sainsbury) no GH mag though Xmas Hmm

I will give another WHSmith a punt.
DD and I were in London today but there weren't any big newsagent and DD won't set foot in M&S unless it's to go to the Cafe.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 31/08/2018 14:04

WildIrish, are the recipes in that new, or recycled from old editions, do you know?

I tried the biggest magaziney shop in my town and got the 'oh, not yet, it's only august' answer, with an incredulous expression. I don't really want to order online, it's £11.98 for deivery to Irelend!

WildIrishRose1 · 31/08/2018 15:23

From what I can see, some recycled some new.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 31/08/2018 16:48

It's quite annoying that they recycle so many, without even attempting to make them a bit different! But I do generally like Good Food magazine so I'll have a look for that one. Thanks WildIrishRose1 :)

My copy of the Irish Countrywoman's Christmas book arrived today. I'm looking forward to snuggling up with that on a more autumnal day. It's quite summery here today. I've already spotted a recipe for potato stuffing that I'm going to have to try Grin

WildIrishRose1 · 31/08/2018 18:58

Hmm I've been looking at that, Whatwould; any good?

WildIrishRose1 · 31/08/2018 19:04

Having read the GF Christmas mag I am impressed - lots of vegetarian recipes and lovely photographs.... looking forward to trying the food.

WhatWouldLeslieKnopeDo · 31/08/2018 19:46

Ooh I'm vegetarian so that sounds ideal. I'll have to look out for it :)

There's not that many vegetarian recipes in the Irish Countrywomen's book, but I mainly just got it as I love browsing Christmas books Blush there's some lovely stories and poems in between. It will definitely be a one to actually read rather than just flick through. Lots of recipes for mincemeat, cakes etc. Sorry, that's not a very helpful answer!

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername have you a M&S near you? That's where I got mine?
