Hello My Name is Gill....................and I am a Magazine addict.

I know now you are shocked.........I don't drink, I don't smoke, I'm just a magazine junkie. I love magazine's, all sorts of magazines. I have a "couple" I subscribe too, I suppose I should list them, right?

Canadian Living, that's full of all sorts of things, from how to's, recipes, health, house decor and gardening. I have been getting this for years.

Chatelaine, which is another Canadian oldie but goodie, again I have been receiving that for years.

Homemakers, its only around $10 a year, but the coupons I get from that magazine, pays for itself in no time flat, plus there are usually some pretty interesting articles in there.

MoneySense, is a great financial magazine, that's also Canadian.

Then there is Harrowsmith Country Life magazine, as one day I would love to have that log house in the country on a couple of acres, you know that dream, of living a simple life, getting away from it all type of dream?

I also get Country Woman, which is one of the Riemann Publications. I have had other subscriptions to some of their other magazines over the years.

I am also getting Hello Canada at the moment, but that is a temporary thing. I was just taking part of a promotion. I won't continue with it when the promotion is over with.I think that's it.

I donate my magazines to the doctors office or the garage where I get the oil changed, so they don't go to waste.

Now I also buy on a regular basis, Prima magazine, any quilting magazine's, Ok from Britain, also Hello from Britain. I like the US weeklies like People Magazine and US weekly, those ones about the celebrities. Love gardening magazines and home decor magazines. Basically I read most magazines!!!

I am always looking out for new magazines, or new suggestions, so let me know what you like, so I may try them as well.

I only do Canadian Living. I got tired of buying non-Canadian ones and finding something really cool that I wanted only to find it wasn't avail in Canada. Plus I read them fast and they clutter the place up - I have to find someone to give them all to.

Kim, give them to a retirement home, or the doctor's or dentist's office......

Well, I subscribe to about 5 quilting magazines, and Guideposts at the present. I used to get Country Living and Country Home, and Taste of Home, but let those lapse a long time ago.

I'd seen others post about "Real Simple" and had the luck to pick one up at a yard sale, that was about 99% intact. Just to confirm, I bought the July issue a couple of weeks ago. There is a lot of helpful information in it, and it takes me a while to get through one. I haven't decided yet if I'll subscribe, but so far I like what I'm finding.

Daylight Saving's Time...........

Yesterday our clocks went back one hour for Daylight Saving's Time. We first had Daylight Saving's Time here in Canada in 1908, but ...
