    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.

    Hiya

    The book has to work as a standalone. My worry with it was that out of context just to say "for budgetting see the MD" would look like a sales plug. So i added that in from the MD and as you'll see it states "courtesy of the MD" big and bold so there's no attmept to hide it.

    The truth is having written a section on budgetting that works, and is a standard, i couldn't see any reason trying to come up with a different solution. And i think it needed to go in :)

    well my 3 came just now in the post - seperate jiffy bags 2 for pressies and 1 for me but I dont want to read it just yet - need to sit down with a cuppa and digest it - looks good
    Saving in my terramundi pot £2, £1 and 50p just for me! :j
  • Mine came yesterday, I read it all in one as soon as I got home from work. I think its great. I never seem to have time to go through the items in too much detail on the OS board, but this is a great concise reference that I can keep looking back on.
