What not to spend by Alvin Hall £1.97

Just been to my local Tesco where 'What not to spend' by Alvin Hall is £1.97 in the sale. Looks like a motivating book to read.

    So, what have you thought of it so far? Was it worth buying, or did it just tell you the obvious/things you have found out for free?

    I used to like Alvin Hall when he was on the telly, what happened to him?
    I always wanted to be a procrastinator, never got round to it...
  • Alot of people come to realize they get more fans who'll buy their stuff by having smaller audiences than TV, e.g. cruise ships and the like - especially as you don't have to come up with new material every week (you can use the same stuff for months on end if you want!).
  • I bought this. Didn't pay £1.97 though:rolleyes: Enjoyed it in a keep-up-the good work - keeps me focused sort of way...Liked him cos he was a reformed spendaholic...the zealous reformed character are always more interesting;)
