ALL THE BOOKS HAVE NOW GONE


[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]wtd_icon.gif What's this about?[/title]
We've blagged 25 copies of the book Babynomics for MoneySavers with bubbas, or having one in the near future, to brush up on cash-saving parental tips.

Even our very own MoneySavingExpert contributed a snippet!

The RRP is £9.99 but you can get it for £6.47 from Book Depository (inc. delivery).

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

" Does baby growth = financial loss?"

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 during week commencing Mon 13 June 2011. 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. This thread will be updated when the winners have been selected.

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 Mon 13 June so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb...

"Children cost a bomb but there's no escaping it - is there? One estimate puts the cost of bringing up a child from 0-21 years at GBP190,000, which is terrifying for any new parent. But does it really cost this much to raise a child, and how can you as a parent cut this down to manageable money?

We bring you practical and realistic advice on saving money, without meaning you have to compromise on the lifestyle of your family. Babynomics teaches parents what costs you can cut, and ways to pay for those bills you can't avoid when raising a family.

Find out: How to save money on baby equipment; Making the most of government funding for your family; The wonderful world of children's toys: Santa, peer pressure and buying for birthdays; Memorable holidays without the price tag; When to start saving money for university.

We show you how much money you can save at each stage of your child's life, and prove that having a happy family doesn't have to cost the earth."

How will the people be chosen?

75 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and announced in next week's email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips).

The FIRST 25 people from that list to get back to me will win a book.

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 50 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take a 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.
