That's Life Reviews

I read one of these magazines on a train in Ireland. Somebody had thoughtfully left it behind. After reading it from cover to cover in about ten minutes, I was not suprised it had been left behind. This publication caters for the lowest common denominator of readership. The main story featured a woman telling the tale of ...

This is one of life's oddities! No story is too lurid or unlikely to fill its pages. The more lurid the better to be exact, one look at the stories on the cover will leave you with no doubt about that, 'He waved his severed arm at me' being one that lingers, unwanted, with me! A weekly magazine costing under a pound, you're not going ...

This magazine, that's life! & other like ones, such as Chat & Take A Break, are, dare I say, strangely compelling. Most if not all of the stories are quite sick & very sad so I've no idea why (if you are easily offended/upset, and/or a hypochondriac, this is NOT for you.) The only reason I can think of is that that's life!'s ...

This review was originally written for Ciao in April 2007 at the time I was actually appearing in the magazine. It deals with my experiences of featuring in an article as well as a review of the magazine - enjoy! ***Intro - TRASH*** Now's here's a review I didn't think I'd find myself writing! Put quite simply, ...

I have been buying That's Life fro about a year now. I like to do the competitions ,as there are loads and the prizes are great. They range from really easy to some that are a bit harder on the brain cells, but well worth doing for the chance of winning. There are some great articles, many of them are written by readers and some of them ...

I have worked in the hairdressing industry for many years now and I am always looking for things that will entertain the customers, while I am busy working on others. I always buy hair and high fashion magazines which are fine but how many hair styles and overly priced clothes can you look at in a few hours without getting board. These ...

Researching the market for selling my short stories, I recently bought a few magazines to see what the standard was like. One of these magazines was That’s Life! which comes out weekly and is priced at 65p. This is one of several almost identical looking magazines aimed at women from around 20 to 60. Whilst being one of the cheapest, ...

I always used to read this magazine - until the day I foolishly decided to write in with my own story. After two interviews via the phone plus the facts in front of them in black and white - they printed nothing but lies. They splashed across the front page that I hated my 2yr old son. This has deeply affected my life. I won't answer the ...

Is it schadenfreude or just sheer relief I feel as I read through the pages of this magazine? The stories are salacious and contain tales of woe, dysfunctional family life, criminal activity and sexual misdemeanours. No matter how mad my own life may seem, at least it isn?t as bad as these peoples! THE COVER The front cover ...

Thats Life is basically a womans magazine but of course there is nothing to stop the men looking at it and by some of the articles in it they definately do just that. It costs 60p and comes out weekly. It has a variety of contents some of which are not done in other womans magazines such as their "Rude Jokes" page. Now ...

I must admit I am an avid reader,I'll read practically anything! So I get 3 'womens' mags a week as much for the stories as for the competitions, but more about that later. Thats Life follows on the heels on Chat and Take a Break, but costing a mere 57p, but it shows. The paper is obviously cheap and is so thin it wouldnt even ...

A mainly womans weekly magazine with usually about 10-12 competitions in it. Well my life must be very dull compared to some of the stories in this magazine. No I'm definately not envious. Like the true stories "How I stitched up a slimeball", "Fighting dirty" or "Love, lust and lies". Mind ...

Sex and Sausages, Brother I'm So Glad You Killed Dad, Psst Want To Know How I Can Make YOUR Man Happy? All headlines on the front covers of That's Life magazine! These titles, therefore give you some idea of the style of writing in That's Life, a weekly puzzle and story magazine. Although the articles featured are very ...

I'm not really what you'd call a regular magazine reader. I flick through them in the doctor's waiting room and always treat myself to a couple when I go on holiday for a little light reading. However, when I do indulge(!) it's usually "that's life!" that I choose. I like stories about real people rather than ...

What made me pick up a copy of that.s life, was it the headline “Fetish for Flesh” about hot passion with my 25 stone stripper I think not. No for me it was the lure of the competitions and the chance to win a fantastic prize. So what does this weekly magazine have to offer. The Puzzles There are always about ...

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery we are told, if you read That's Life you soon realise that it is a weak imitation on the Take a Break formula. It tries hard, and costs less, but the magazine has less pages, lower prizes in it's competitions (a car is offered about once a month rather than weekly) and the the readers ...

I've just started to buy this. Mostly for the prizes you can win. Also it's a bit like dooyoo. You can write tips and opinions and get paid!. They pay you £20.00 for every tip they print and if you are lucky enough to have tip of the day, they will pay you £50.00 for it. The comptitions are great too. They have crosswords and wordserches. ...

This has got to be one of the best womens mags on the shelf. I only started reading it about 5 months ago but I've always tried to buy it every week - plus at only 54p you really cant go wrong! Its full of real life stories, some of them making you cry and some of them making you smile - theres also a section for rude jokes of the ...

A womans weekly magazine with a bit of everything in it from cookery to competitions. I have found though that a lot of the true life stories in Thats Life are also in Chat. Some are even written word for word and appear the same week. The only difference is that it will be written in a different name! None the less the stories ...

I write tips for that's life on a regular basis. I soon realised that when I sent a genuine tip in, I was quickly rejected. For a laugh and out of frustration because I had received so many rejections. I sent in a ridiculous tip. 'To cure flatulence, sip caraway seed tea' can you imagine trying to make tea out of caraway seeds ...
