Aww, you're special!

I only just subscribed to the magazine yesterday and selected April as my first issue, so I've still to buy March.

Ooooh, our postie always arrives about 2pm..... it will be hell waiting to see if mine is in the bundle.

I like that it's so early as by the time I get around to actually doing what the mag suggests - it's always much later than I hoped so the timing works out about right in the end!

Yes, it's the first of Feb on Friday, of course, so that's why it feels early. Personally I hate it when the 1st of the month falls on a Saturday and we have to wait a whole 'extra' week.

Got mine this morning. Doesn't look like my ironing pile is going to shift today either! Sub-arctic plenty though eh? Nearly bought them but decided I probably have enough. Nice to be proved wrong!

Got mine today, but daughter is reading it as I was late home from work. As subscribers I think we should get them before they hit the shops. Last month it was in Tesco before mine arrived in the post. Don't know whose fault, magazine or Royal Mail (or Post Office or whatever they are called now)

Came home at 4pm and saw a pile of sad computer and investment magazines on the dresser (belonging to OH) together with some shares circulars and stuff about boats and motorbikes and a letter for the lady who lived here about ten years ago. Hate not getting any post. Went round to see my mum and got home at 6.45. GYO was on the dresser (Zaz had moved all his stuff from off the top of it) and there was a HUGE envelope which I can't believe I'd missed with a blackcurrant plant in it. Woohoo!!

Yep, mine arrived yesterday as well, waiting for me after another day in the office. So now I guess I ought to start on what the Feb issue (last months) told me to do ...
