    gatita - have you managed to get your order through yet?

    I've even emptied my basket, logged out and started again but it doesn't want to play!!

    I've been trying again.. and again.. and again.. and I've just had a phone call from my credit card company as the transactions are registering with them each time, but not with WHSmith.

    I've told the credit card company what happened, so I shouldn't be charged so long as all the orders don't materialise.


    :eek: good job they are small amounts cos I must have clicked "place order" about 30 times now!! :eek: No call from my CC company though :rolleyes:

    I have just contacted my CC company and I have currently 5 x 87p purchases!! At least they aren't all going through but it will mean we have to claim back our cash if they stay on the account.

    Thanks for the heads-up klb :D

    The great british cookbook has been reduced in WH Smiths for quite a while. It was £5 before this great sale. I'm not sure if this link will work or whether it will update with the current page but here it is at £5 http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:YkY8CyFVrRUJ:www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx%3FproductID%3D32541724+The+Great+British+Menu+Cookbook+review&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=uk


    Now that the deal is over it has shot up to £15, even though it was only £5 before the deal.

    Also, the Gordon Ramsey book is now £15, but you can get it instore for a tenner. And Jamie's Journal is now £5.99 online, but only £1.99 instore.

    The DIY book (due in this sale later) is currently £16.50 online, but I've just seen it instore for £6.

    Are they trying to make all the books look even better value in the sale
    by making them much more expensive out of it?

    So is this offer just cookbooks and plain paper?

    Sorry to sound ungrateful, but it is a bit of a niche market!

    And one DIY book.

    How is plain paper a niche market? I don't know anyone that doesn't need to write things down occasionally! And some of it is lined, not plain!
  • I got my DIY book too.Now that thats over I had better get some housework done before hubby gets home from work.
