Just want to mention if you buy magazine subscriptions as gifts for Christmas (as I tend to do), now is the perfect time. It takes a few months for the stupid magazines to get with the program, so the timing is perfect.

Mum told me last weekend that they looked into getting me a subscription for my favourite magazine. They know I love it - even if it's generally considered trashy - and they also know HM was sniffy about the fact I felt I could afford it, mostly because he thinks it would be a waste of money even if I had pots of it. End result is that I haven't bought it for 2 months now.

They looked into it, but it was too expensive (because they'd feel obliged to spend the same money on my sister & brother). I was so grateful that they'd even thought about it.

[ot] he's right, you know -about the affording it. Where does it fit into your budget of 1 quid for entertainment? -did you do that budget yet? On paper and all? [/caring nag] Well done on the self control on that one [/ot]
