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.

davros, i will leave that for you to decide.

donkey i will let you know as soon as it arrives, and then pass them onto you if you want. I'm keeping the toy though.

Interested in what you say about being swayed by free gifts. That puts me OFF a magazine!!! Am on a constant quest to keep the house clutter free and can't bear to throw stuff away so anything with a free bag/diary whatever is iut.
Amazes me how magazines which attempt to sell you an aspirational lifestyle, assume that their target audience will be delighted to receive a vile nylon bag stitched together in 3 minutes in some Far Eastern sweatshop!!

I was more meaning free novels-thats my fav free gift-unless Ive read it, then I dont buy the mag on principle!
Having said that, last year we went to florida and I took a cheap free mag bag to use on beach and a lovely expensive boden bag for "best" the handle broke on the boden bag after 3 days whilst the free mag bag is still doing service for swimming etc.

lol miggy!
Find that some of the novels are a bit mindless though. I'm not really interested in reading YET another paperback about someone who works in PR/fashion, likes shopping and is having man trouble.

Puhhhhlease!!!

Yeah, I got a Tony Parsons book free on a mag once too!

I want to punch bloody Tony Parsons.....

Get in line...

What a smug t*er. I hate the way he obviously thinks he has women and the way they feel all sewn up. Oh no you bloody don't!! From (purported) hip young muso to writer of utter drivel who regularly appears in those 'At home with....' banging on about where he bought his bloody kitchen mixer tap.

Get outta it!!!!

you wouldnt throw this free gift, it is sold in ann summers for £25!
