You've most probably seen the advert on the telly, now buy the magazine! 'Pick Me Up' (PMU) is a weekly magazine which comes out every Thursday. It is priced at just £0.60p which, compared to some other magazines on the market, is quite cheap. And there's quite a lot in it too.
What I like about this magazine is the variety of content in it. It is a colourful and snazzy magazine which draws you into wanting to know more about its contents! It is aims for women and is the sort of magazine you will find in Doctor and Dentist surgeries!
The front cover is generally colourful with stories on the cover of what is included in that weeks' issue. You will see what true-life story is contained in it.
On page 3 you will find a short message from the Editor of the magazine and the contents with what page they are on. There are the true stories, of which you will find many. And the stories are very interesting with photographs of the people concerned in the stories.
And then there are the regulars which are: ~ Come on In! - Spread across 2 pages this is where you, the reader, can send in your photo's, funny stories and poems, etc to the magazine. There is also a star picture where the winner will receive a gift.
~ Tip-Offs - If you've got a handy tip, then send it in and maybe it'll get printed! For example, "After eating a pineapple, don't throw the peel away. Cuit it up and scatter it on your flower beds. It will deter cats from messing there and will decompose." I didn't know that. It'll certainly be handy where I live!
Him Indoors - You can write a message to your husband here for them to publish, or, for instance, there's a picutre of a man in the nude covering his bits with a copy of the magazine! Or if you are a bloke looking for a woman then you can send a photo of yourself with a description of yourself and what type of woman you woul like to meet.
~ Toddlygook - This is where you can send in funny photo's of your kids. They will pay £25 for every photo published. Easy money!
Other regulars include beauty on a budget, Jeremy Kyle, Photo phsychic and your horoscopes.
There are also a few competitions in the magazine where you can win cash prizes. Also in the magazine is a small form which you can fill in to send in your real-life story. They will pay up to £500 for your true-life story. You can either post your story in, phone it, fax it or email it in. So there are pleny of options there to choose from.
There is the odd full page of advertisments, but I suppose this is to be expected with any magazine. Maybe this is how they keep the price of the magazine so low.
As you can tell, there's a lot of content in this magazine. There's real stories, competitions, your letters and photo's, your stars and much, much more. And for just £0.60p a week, you can't grumble at that, can you?!

I read this once or twice, but they tend to concentrate on gory stuff, so definitely not the one you would want to pick up whilst waiting to see the dentist!
