Congratulations to the following 50 people who have potentially netted a free book. The first 25 to send me a Private Message (click my name and then "send a private message to MSE Natasha") with their FULL NAME AND ADDRESS will receive a copy.

If I don't hear from at least 25 people by next week (week commencing 4 October) any remaining books will be given out on a first come first served basis (subject to whether you've received a book in previous giveaways, though it's worth private messaging anyway as if there are many copies left over, you may still get one) at a later point. So please be quick!

Please DO NOT send me a private message if YOU'RE NOT A WINNER ON THIS LIST. Just keep an eye on this thread, it'll be updated with details of how to request a leftover copy at some point next week.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] What's this about?[/title]
We've blagged 25 copies of the book The Lazy Project Manager for MoneySavers who want to learn how to be "twice as productive and still leave the office early".

The RRP is £14.99 but it's available for £8.47 from Book Depository (inc. delivery).

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] What to do[/title]
If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"I want to be productively lazy!"

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 back to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing Monday 27 September). 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 is usually around a week after the results have been announced.

But bear in mind 50 names are being picked and there are only 25 books, 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 will be deleted.

This thread will shut on Monday 27 September so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb...

"In 'The Lazy Project Manager' Peter Taylor illustrates how we can achieve more without expending more time and energy. Welcome to the home of 'productive laziness'.

Here there is a more focused approach to project management and our efforts are exercised where it really matters - there's no rushing round involving ourselves in unimportant, non-critical activities that others can better address, or indeed that do not need addressing at all in some cases.

It's all about working smarter and Peter Taylor, head of a PMO at Siemens, gives away his trade secrets. This is not a training manual. You won't turn into a project manager by reading this book. But Peter, acting as virtual coach will help you to identify and focus on the activities in your projects, do them well and enjoy the world of productive laziness."

How will the people be chosen?

50 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 copy of the book.

You must send me a private message from the username account you entered the competition with. There will be no exceptions if between entering and winning you've changed your username or can't remember the account's password to access it.

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 a couple of weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
