It's a weekly magazine @ £1.65 per week.
So that's £85.80 per year - even applying online discount you're unlikely to get it below £60 ($120). Then x 3 to make it fair to all siblings...... But hey, if you fany adopting me Cloud, it's Heat magazine ![]()

Cheap is all relative. Plus annual subscriptions give a bigger discount her than they do in the UK. Oh and in my experience, people spend more money on Chritmans gift here. Lots more. "Stocking fillers" here are main gifts in the UK. Maybe just where Ilive... but $$$$$$

hmm, I guess you're right. As an example, I just purchased a 12-month gift subscription for 5.92 pounds ($12 US). Not expensive, in my view. Of course, I regularly spend $1,000 to $2,000 yearly on family Christmas gifts. Maybe 740 pounds? Is that a lot to you?

by the way, Heat magazine is 72 quid for an annual subscription -saving 14%. Here, for a lot of magazines, you save over 50% of the cover price when you subscribe. Newsweek, for example, is dirt cheap when baought annually -about 50c per week (25p) iirc. Schools sekll magazine subscriptions as fundraisers.

Wow, Heat magazine is expensive. $280 for a yearly subscription.
Go to the library.

![]() Aye. My parents spend about £20 on each of us at Christmas. Mum might sneak a bit more for me as my sister has children (her share goes on them but Mum inevitably overspends, as I did when I was working) and my bro is better paid than my Mum. She spends on food, but £740 on presents is far more than she could afford.

okay, oops, I don't mean to make anyone feel bad. I'm very, very (very!) lucky, in that I get an extra paycheck at Christmastime as a bonus, and I usually spend most of that on gifts.
And I always overspend. Every year I tell myself I won't, but I do anyway. ETA: Here's Heat's online version: http://www.heatworld.com/ I've pretty much stopped subscribing to magazines myself, and my mag purchases have gone way down since so much content is now free on the Net.

I'd almost forgotten what it's like to be cold. It's 37 degrees outside this morning.
Should I wear my coat?

for someone who seems to hate weeds so much, this appears a little like fertilizer to my untrained eye...
