    Am I the only person who was disapointed by the repitition from the Money Diet?

    It is a very useful book, but the stories about Christmas and so on were in MD 1 and 2. I suppose it was written assuming it would be bought as a stand alone.

    Mine just arrived!:j :j :j

    I have been dipping through it and really like the way it is arranged.

    Because it includes snippets from posters stories it feels like coming on the old style board on here.

    What would be lovely to sum up old style is the story about the person who wanted a bank loan and bank manager called at her home while she was dishing up home made casserole, home made bread, cake etc with well scrubbed children looking angelic. It shows old style can be for anyone - not the middle aged or stay at home mums.

    As far as I know the book should be in shops as well but cheaper on line - play.com do free postage and packing as well.

    When the MD came out - people had read it cover to cover on the first day of receiving it. What's wrong with you Old-Stylers....


    Arrived yesterday and finished it this morning in bed (have a light box so I read in the morning) Some of us have Martin!!!!

    It is brilliant and reminded me of things I had forgotten.

    Thanks you lovely OSers.
