********Is anyone else a sucker for "freebies" in mags or is it just me?*******

I'm not even as bad as I once was but I still on ocassion find myself reaching for a naffish mag that I normally wouldn't buy because it's got plastered to it's cover an equally naffish gift.

Occasionally a decent freebie will present itself but take for instance today, I have purchased a shoite mag with shoite foundation even though I have Estee Lauder, yes I'm fec*in eegit! any other takers?

i bought a truly horrible mag to get a ribbon and beady necklace last month. love the necklace but the mag was sheeeee-iiite!

The worse bit is that I realised I was trying to convince myself that I really did want to know about the granny with the ASBO in order to justify crap slap.

It's awful isn't lissielou? I'm a reasonably intelligent individual most of the time, so this weakness really does me ed in!
