wanted... a decent woman's magazine

[sansouci]

What's happened to Marie Claire? I haven't touched it in 2 months. The only interesting one for a reasonably intelligent read is (shudder at name!) Good Housekeeping. Or am I getting old? Vanity Fair can be good, too.

was a tough decision choosing which one i wanted though.

You'll have to tell me whether it comes in transparent plastic or anonymous brown paper so I can decide whether to subscribe or not

Bet it comes with some sort of vocal announcement, screaming that my top shelf mag has arrived!

Lol, in which case I certainly won't be going for it!!! Am not so interested about how the mag arrives but what sort of packaging your free 'half of Ann Summers' is in!!!

I think womens mags are rubbish.
Haven't bought one in years.
Rather stick to mumsnet and the like.

probably comes a buzzing!

What if it comes hand delivered by a guy in a black PVC gimp outfit??

As someone on a permanent diet I get illicit thrills from buying Delicious and BBC Good Food and flicking through the pictures of food that contains fat.

She will drag in the door, ask him if he has any bar experience, and then threaten to ravish him regardless

Lol LGJ!!!

depends what he looks like

if he resembles roy hattersley i will make him clean the toilet with his tongue.

If he looks like gael garcia bernal then he will have to give me a tutorial, and i am not v good with instructions, so it would take a very long time.

I have a terrible memory so he'd have to come back every day/night to show me again

I was going to say WHO?? but decided to do a google instead, yum yum,

Get 'em young and treat 'em rough

lgj you seem to know me so well i am thinking i am posting to myself

LOL

I think we have the same sense of humour.

oh bugger i have to go just as it was going to get intersting. Will find you later!

Have to add that I really enjoy Oprah Magazine...hard to admit, but it does touch on alot of interesting subjects. Better Homes and Gardens is also a staple of mine (I subscribe and it comes to the house). Those are the only two I read....

Going to try This Week, you can subscribe and get 4 copies free then cancel if you don't like it. Will have a look at Oprah in the shops (I adore her so....)
Lou, what do you mean there's always room for one more sex toy? Room where

I'll admit to liking Good Housekeeping. I am 43 though - but young with it ! Mum has always got it and I found myself getting it for myself in my late 20s, when Cosmo stopped satisfying me

Used to buy Woman's Journal as well and was devastated went it shut down - with no advance notice.

But now I am a Mum, often don't get a chance to read a full edition, unless I'm on holiday - so maybe it is as well that Women's Journal shut down!

I buy Good Food and Slimming World, there could be a connection.

I loved WJ too prettybird

ROFL Demented!
Prettybird, I gave up GH because its too boring and I'm 45!! Mind you, I was brought up on Bunty, June & Schoolfriend, Mandy then Jackie and Honey then NME.....

does scarlet have bare willies or is it just dull pics of scanty clad blokes?

i like the FT Weekend mag, it's brilliant

Word is great too. And Private Eye.

Hate all women's mags, utter tripe.

Will confess to magazine addiction.
Buy delicous
bbc good food magazine
the kitchen garden
good housekeeping
every month
plus a selection from eve,she,red depending on the features/free gifts etc
and selection from country smallholder,horse,country homes and interiors,junior,ideal home,france depending on how bored I Am or how much time I spend in newsagents.
Agree with others, read lots of books too but sometimes only a magazine will do!
Anyone remember "M" sort of offshoot from she, I really liked that-obv no one else did as it folded really quickly!

This is a fascinating thread for all us mavens. I have high hopes for Easy Living (any MNers actually working on it) which is coming soon. I tell all and sundry I get Red (even tho I think it's a bit tired) and only anonymously admit to loving GH - for the recipes!!

Please don't be too hard on mag hags Countess - it has kept me off the streets for 16 years
