Do You Read..........

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 11 Sep 09

A daily newspaper. The real thing, not online, but sheets of paper. Do you read them daily, weekly, monthly or less often. Is it the news, political inclination or other material that attracts you?

hibiscus2 I always check the prices of everything, not just restaurants! On a low income you just can't afford not to...it can seem rather mean at times, but it isn't meant to be. My hubby never bothers which is good because it means he isn't a skinflint - but sometimes...

hibiscus2 I love watching dance shows. Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars are brilliant fun - it all depends if you like dancing or not. If you don't you'll find it boring, though my husband who didn't much like dancing, found it interesting.
