Latest Dolly Mixture

#1 Post by IncaDolly78 »

Hi I received the latest Dolly Mixture today. Firstly may i send my thoughts to Steve and his family for their recent bereavement, i supported people with dementia for 10 years and am aware how cruel and unfair this horrible illness is.

Secondly, and less importantly, is the name on the Christmas card on the magazine cover personalised or is it just a coincidence that mine has "Chris" on it? If someone / people have written our individual bnames on the front of every magazine I will be very impressed! 🙂

Naw, mine has "Chris" on it too. I think it's the name of the guy whose photo it is!

Is there soft copy of dolly mixture option available. I do enjoy mine when arrives but prefer access electronically these days. Soft copy would reduce postage and printing to places like Australia. Just a thought and not wanting to upset anyone who loves paper and won’t want change
