I'm not renewing a subscription to another magazine (a home one) for the same reasons...I can't and doubt that I will ever be able to afford what they have in their mags. When I began the subscription 6 years ago everything was within my reach one way or another - whether it's from Oxfam, car boot sale or home made with a bit of creativity! The homes belonged to everyday working people but now they all seem to be converted barns in rural France or some huge Victorian one on the outskirts of somewhere posh and totally out of my league! The last one I looked at had an article about going green - suggesting using paint at £25 for 2.5 litres! I'd love to go green but not at a price tag that would mean me sleeping rough!
I've ditched other glossies as they are aimed at a lower age bracket and this is the first W & H I have had. As I write this I haven't finished reading it but the few articles I have read so far have been fantastic and it would be a real shame if I got further into the mag onto to discover that the articles are totally out of my league too.
By the way, I don't earn anywhere near the lowest wage bracket mentioned...nowhere near! And as a full time working mum, that's like rubbing salt in an already gaping wound.
