    Managed to go into two W bookshops today and wasn't tempted at all -

    Vixstar..this is good but shocking news, methinks this thread has far reaching under currents, with me selling two books and you not buying any, what is happening ?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Well I have broken my resolution big time this week - I bought 11 books!!! Admittedly two of them were travel guides for when I go to Barcelona.

    I bought them all at work so got a good discount but even so!! Trouble is when I am at the till customers keep bringing up books that I have not seen and they look good and I have to buy them!!!!

    I NEED HELP!!

    Catkins, I think you are probably under a little more purchase pressure given your work :)And I'm oh so jealous too...

    Catkins, I think I'll probably be joining you in the naughty corner once the car boots start up properly!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Trying to finish my Simon Schama book but it keeps sending me to sleep - I will do it less than 80 pages to go.

    Very :money: and space-saving! :)

    I'm most of the way though 'The Money Diet'. I tried to read a complicated bit first thing this morning, but had to give up as it was too much for my little brain to take at that hour of the day. I'll read a bit more before bed and I'll see what more damage I can do.
