Cancelling my Grazia subscription


OK it's all over. I have a love hate relationship with magazines, I can go for ages not reading any then go overboard and buy them all. I don't, for instance, buy food mags like Delicious, Olive and BBC Good Food anymore as I figure I have enough cookery books to last several lifetimes worth of meals.


And as for fashion mags, well, this week's Grazia calling Meg Mathews a "star" and doing a DPS on her fashion moments, well, I've just cancelled my subscription. SO BORED off Kate Moss/Doherty/Hince are they aren't they stories, ditto Jennifer Aniston, Brangelina, and Peaches/Pixie Geldof and Alexa Chung obsessions. I'M SO OVER GRAZIA.

mixed review for www.gardeningexpress.co.uk



Website's pretty easy to manoeuvre, but the delivery time was rubbish, claiming standard delivery of 3-5 days but up to 10 days. I placed my order well over a month ago. The customer phone line said due to lines being busy please raise a support order on the website, which I did, over the past two weeks, about 5 times asking could someone contact me to tell me where the hell my delivery was.

Got an email yesterday saying it was on its way via Amtrack, and it duly arrived today. The three standard trees (olive, fig, and eucalyptus), lavender and thyme plants plus the bird of paradise are all good quality, but I'd never use the website again unless I was in no hurry.
