Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It’s a tough decision for Newt of the day, top 3 are:

LindsD for longest run of 8 miles

SarahWoo for fastest 3.2 mile run
Sharkie for letting her magazines go, I know what they mean to her.

Still deliberating....

I'm the same as Sharkie - I do read the magazines when I get them but hang on to them because they have something in them that 'might be useful' although I have no idea what I thought might be useful from the 2007 one that went in the recycling this morning.

Worse still - I have *several* folders containing only pages from magazines of things that I also thought 'might be useful' but were not worth keeping the entire magazine for. I probably need to do a cull of those too. If I'd kept all those magazines and not just torn out the odd page here and there I imagine I'd have no space in my study for my desk and chair!

BBL- I used to do that with Runners World magazines! Got rid when we moved house :-) The only magazine I get now is my professional one which I read and then bin- everything is online if I need to refer to it again.

I did read every single copy of Vogue Knitting in the late 90s. Just not sure why I’m still hoarding so many! I really do need to go through them and cull some but getting my craft room sorted first is the priority!

WA -it's a house move that's prompting this cull of magazines too. However I'm not being quite as ruthless as I should be really!

I am exactly the same but last January I took all the running mags I’d hordes to work and people took them away. My biggest issue has been good food Mags I subscribe time to time. I’ve been getting rid but have a huge pile of recipes I might like to do one day along with more cookery books than I can possibly need. (Just ordered 2 more too 😂) yet still stick the the faves!! Shoot me now

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
