When J went to the US, I requested mags, like always, but this time I specified: mummy mags! He did well- Parents, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, self, cooking mags...oh and a Marie Clare for good luck.So I brought the pile of mags down to the holiday house (we are here for the long weekend)and am gonna try not to move from the couch all day and read them. maybe even get some ideas for a Halloween costume for k, who has 2 parties to go to!
Have to admit I am enjoying them much better than vogue and the fashion mags he brought back last time - u just have to look at my "natural look" (no make up and tracksuit apparel) to realise that I am probably not trying to win any fashion contests.I am not even that interested in clothes shopping anymore- a few years ago i did make a concious decision not to just buy things, which started out because I was moving again and already have so much stuff! But now I am just not that into clothes shopping (actually even just going to the shopping malls wears me out and makes me cranky - too many people!) of course, not working means I dont need piles of clothes.
Anyway, I'm off as there are mags to be flicked thru.
If they are mags you can part with when you have finished.... I know a poor woman who has to spend two weeks in hospital with her baby...
ReplyDeleteHope you have nice relaxing weekend. The frog masks in the hundred yen shop are cute if you feel like dressing K up as one - they have witches and devils too!!
I love magazines. I am addicted. My favouite is Frankie, an Aussie mag that only comes out every 2 months. But I also love cooking, craft and gossip mags with just as much passion!
ReplyDeleteHope you have enjoyed them. Oh also, I know a website where you can read a lot of magaizines online! Will see if I can chase it down for you!
ps: GW- I have old gossip mags that I could post to you! They are old but with two kids i doubt you have been keeping up to date with the fact that Britney Spears is now clean again! hehe!
