Advantages: There are lots of stories and puzzles for you to do. Disadvantages: Some stories are less interesting.
...it costs 68p. Pick Me Up has many stories in that have been sent in by readers. The story lengths vary which is very convenient so you can read them in between doing things. Some of the other sections in the magazine are: That's good to know This page is full of people's tips and ideas the tips vary from how to remove stains to how to keep fruit ripe longer. To be honest most of the tips are quite obvious and pointless but every now and then there ... ...Could you love me? This is just small section which each week shows six animals that need to be re-homed. This week's pets include: dogs, cats and rabbits. Each animal has a picture of it, then a comment under it saying if it likes children etc and then details of the website that you can contact if you are interested in any of them. I think it's good how they have used a popular magazine to help find homes for animals. I'm sure when someone looks ...

Advantages: True life Stories Disadvantages: When it comes to an end
...but what I like about Pick Me Up is that there is only the 2 pages which is great quality but not too much.
Then you will find a section called HEALTH SOS, 4 pages in total and you find great information in here relating to your health. There is a page where you ask questions and get the answers in the magazine.
Tips on keeping healthyand a true story with a factfile.
A part of the magazine which I find interesting is the Jeremy Kyle section. ... ...Jeremy Kyle and he replys in the magazine. This is the only magazine Jeremy Kyle does this for and its brilliant.
One page in the magazine is called photo psychic, you write in to Mystic Mary and she can tell you what the future holds.
As with most magazines there is one page dedicated to YOUR STARS, so you can read your star sign for the week ahead.
Next page gives you a glance at what is in next weeks magazine, which always makes me want next ...

Advantages: Good read for the price Disadvantages: only once a week
...magazine to the tune of Pick me up buttercup. To me that is enough to put me off buying it but anyway I did and glad I did.
So what is good about Pick Me Up? Well the first thing is that it costs 68p which isnt bad when it claims more real life stories than any other mag and that some magazines like Best are now as much as 83p.
It comes out every Thursday.
If it is a story on the cover that first catches your eye, when you look at the index it ... ...the true stories, the happy endings and then the regulars so you know exactly where to look for something.
Like a lot of womans magazines it has the usual type of health help, stars, letters and tips.
The Agony Aunt is Jeremy Kyle from the early morning ITV show. He is pretty god and does not mince his words. What makes his page different i that he has "Jeremys Judgement" where he picks one of the stories in the magazine and comments on it.

...from my magazine fest! Pick me Up!
It was quite funny to be honest, the first time I saw this in the shop, I saw the name 'pick me up' and guess what I did...... picked it up! After a quick glance over the front cover - with its lure to the stories within, I waqs sure it was a magazine i would enjoy.... and i was right! I handed the kind lady at tesco my 65p (thats the weekly cost) and took myself home for a damn good read!

- Pick me up mum's club (Birth announcements and top tips!)
- Last Laugh with the Ed ( a page from the editor - this is great, a lovely personal touch, very funny and well written!)
Again, this magazine is very low on advertising!
This magazine has lots of puzzles (which are all grouped together toward the end of the magazine!) although this is practical, i was dissapointed a little the first time as I turned the page and ...

Advantages: Cheap some interesting stories Disadvantages: Too many real life stories, not enough fashion some stories make magazine appear trashy
I often read 'Pick me up' magazine, however I tend to prefer 'Love it' magazine which seems to appeal to a younger audience as it features some fashion and beauty pages, although not many & is very similar to 'Pick me up' which features lots of true life stories. I am not sure if I like the fact that it focuses mainly on 'True life' stories, and often feel these are too long & irrelevant - however I will usually flick through the more interesting ... ...OK, a cut out and keep section, although no fashion features which it did at first, but they now seem to have taken out - which is a shame as it would help it appeal to a younger audience and spread the appeal of the magazine further to younger people who couldnt afford a more expensive magazine. I feel this mag is a bit pants in comparison to the other cheaper mags such as love it and new, because of the abudence of strange true life stories which ...

Advantages: Ok if you are bored Disadvantages: Stories aren't all british, over exagaratted headlines, can be too trashy
Pick Me Up is a magazine i read on occasion on my lunch break at work but it isn't one of my favourites. It is on sale in most shops for 68p.
The front cover always has really good headlines and makes me want to read it but when you get to a lot of the stories they tend to be overly exaggerated and most of the stories told are very trashy, they also have a lot of American stories in it which puts me off, i want to hear about British real life!
... ...he writes exactly how he talks, its as if someone reads him the letter then records what he says and i find this off putting.
Its not a bad magazine to buy when it is on sale for 40p which it is quite often but i only buy it if i cannot get a better magazine, if you like real life magazine they are a lot better buys out there. ...
