Giveaway started 4 Sep 2012
What's this about?
We've blagged 25 copies of Ouch! for MoneySavers who want an entertaining answer to financial fear, ignorance or confusion. The RRP is £12.99 but you can get it for £9.02 (incl del) from The Book Depository.

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:
"Ignorance is bliss, except when it hurts..."
To do this you need to be registered for the Forum (if you're not, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).
APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing 10 Sep). If you don't get in contact promptly you won't receive a copy and if there are any remaining books they'll be given away.
But bear in mind 75 names are being picked and there are only 25 books (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.
Also, please DON'T email in as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.
This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 10am on Monday 10 Sep so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb ...
"It's time to wake up or get wiped out.
We live in a world dominated by a system that most of us aren't aware of, never mind understand. When it comes to money and how it really works, most of us are too busy, too bored or too bewildered to think about it, despite being at the sharp end of the consequences. We simply don't recognise the game that is being played out in front of us. Well check your pockets; you're in for a nasty shock.
OUCH! is your entertaining answer to financial fear, ignorance or confusion. Quintessentially irreverent but with a deadly serious message - ultimately it tells you how to protect your hard earned cash and save yourself from financial meltdown."
How will the people be chosen?
25 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).
The FIRST 25 people to get back to me will win a copy of the book.
The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.
When will I get the book?
The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 25 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
