Review of Pick Me Up

Pick up a reward with Nescafe!

Advantages: easy scheme good rewards
Disadvantages: none

...If you have read some of my other reviews you will realise that I am one of those people who is always on the lookout for a bargain and I try to make a little extra wherever I can. I am always one of the first to sign up to a new loyalty card or a new cashback site and certainly over the years the rewards do add up! Pick-me-ups is the reward scheme for buying and drinking Nescafe coffee. First of all, I want to make it clear that this review is not about Nescafe coffee, although you have to want to drink it in order to take part in the reward scheme. Personally I think it is the best instant coffee around so it is an added bonus that they offer rewards as well! So what is the pick-me-ups scheme and how does it work? Well it's quite easy really as every jar of coffee has a bean token on it and depending on the size of the jar it...

Review of Nescafe Pick-Me-Ups

picking up the brass - eddy nugent - hilarious

Advantages: hilarious - awsome
Disadvantages: hard to put down

...My boyfriend whos a serving soldier bought a copy of this book after reading about it in soldier magazine. Having had a brief flick through it, i requested it when he was done. Being a slow reader he bought me my own copy @ £7.99 from waterstones. Not all of them carry it and he did have to pre-order it. the language level is not for the feint hearted, but there are some seriously funny parts that have had me laughing out loud. I am not finished with it yet, but so far it has kept me amused and up reading for some time after i shoud have been fast asleep. Its listed as a fiction book of a 16 year old lad starting out his career in the mid 80's with the army, though i feel its quite possible that much of it i borne from the actual experience of the authors than of pure fiction . Starting out from the very start at entering...

Review of Picking Up the Brass - Eddie Nugent

Pick Me Up and ignore the ad.

Advantages: Good read for the price
Disadvantages: only once a week

...I expect you have seen the advertisement for this magazine on the television. It is the one in a corner shop about the 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 has a section for "on the cover" it then lists 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...

Review of Pick Me Up

Definitely PICK ME UP, Great read

Advantages: True life Stories
Disadvantages: When it comes to an end

...are called COME ON IN, this is classed as your pages. Its where the readers get a chance to send in photos with a caption, jokes, etc, generally just to make everyone smile. After reading a few good quality stories you come to a page called THATS GOOD TO KNOW, this is where readers write in with their tips, clever ideas. These are very handy, I usually keep them for future reference. If you send a tip in you get £15 for it without a photograph and £25 if you send them a photograph too. After reading more true stories there is a page called TODDLYGOOK, and this is where you get the chance to send photographs of your children doing funny things etc. Again the magazine gives £25 for everyone they print. There are 2 pages on Bargain Fashion. I like this in a magazine but what I like about Pick Me Up is that there is only the 2 pages which...

Review of Pick Me Up

Why don't you pick me up?

Advantages: Cheap compared to some magaziines on the market.
Disadvantages: None

...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...

Review of Pick Me Up

'Pick Me Up' but can you put me down? '

Advantages: There are lots of stories and puzzles for you to do.
Disadvantages: Some stories are less interesting.

...'Pick Me Up' is a magazine full of real life stories. A new copy comes out every Thursday and 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 is a good one that I will use. 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...

Review of Pick Me Up

You can pick me up anytime

Advantages: Something for nothing
Disadvantages: Small payment for postage

...Those of you that have read my earlier reviews may realise that I am a great believer in looking after the pennies and letting the pounds take care of themselves. So when I am offered something for nothing from something that I buy anyway I am sure to take full advantage of it. Nescafe pick-me-ups offers me free goodies for just collecting beans from the back of jars of coffee that I buy regularly. As I have just recieved my latest copy of the pick me ups magazine with new offers I thought I had better update this review ****************What's on offer*************************** Updated 07.08.06 You can collect beans from the back of jars to get: Pack of 2 mugs -6 beans Pamper Set (Bath goodies)- 15 beans Kitchen Set ( Apron and Oven Gloves) - 15beans Bath towel and matching slippers...

Review of Nescafe Pick-Me-Ups

see if you can resist picking it up!

Advantages: a great read!
Disadvantages: none as of yet!

...Now here it is.... my third and final review 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! Packed with true life stories and lots of regular features, this is a magazine you will love! A lot newer than many of the other weekly magazines, but so far it seems to have proved itself worthy for the shops shelves and our coffee table! Again, issues weekly on a thursday (make my life so much easier to go out and buy them all at once - however do often...

Review of Pick Me Up

Pick a card and mix these people up

Advantages: Fun card matching game
Disadvantages: none

...This pick and mix card game from Orchard toys is good fun for children aged 3 to 7 years old. It has been around for several years now. I have played with it in a few different play settings. This game it is available from several toy shops between £5 and £8 This toy is basically a set of people cards that have been cut into 3 . Heads bodies and legs. The idea of the game is to match them up to make a complete person. There is a policeman, a cow girl, a fireman. a pirate, a king , a clown, a boy , a girl ,a nurse There are a 12 characters in all 36 cards but I can not remember who they are. There are several ways you can play this game depending on the level of the players . You can use this game as a simple matching game just trying to build the people correctly. You could play this with one child as a simple matching...
