Yes alas, only a few. I was tad disappointed as I thought I would have a huge tower like last year. I managed to peep inside some and decided that I wouldn't buy them this year. I hate that most magazines these days are wrapped in plastic that won't easily, and discreetly be opened for a quick perusal. I have often dithered - trying to decided whether I should risk buying a magazine I haven't been able to see inside. They don't come cheap either so you don't want to waste your money on a magazine that isn't your cup of tea. Anyway, now the only problem is that I don't want to read them, I just keep savouring the anticipation!
I didn't get around to sanding the kitchen work tops yesterday and am getting fed up with this view..
..the kitchen is littered with brushes, white spirit and tins of paint and varnish. There were a few hours yesterday when I wondered if the first layer of varnish was ever going to dry ..24 hours it took and it said 16 on the tin. I really thought I had made a terrible mistake so was enormously relieved when I checked this morning and it wasn't sticky. It's so hard to have half the kitchen out of action when it only measures 6 feet square!
Oh and I have managed to get my hands on the Vogue I mentioned in my last post. Thank you to all of you who tried to help. I'm now off to watch the news about the US elections. It's all so exciting and I'm trying to persuade Anth to set up our old portable TV in our bedroom so I can watch through the night. Yeah, I know what the family will say about that...I'm just sad!
