in The MoneySaving books
I, along with friends, family and fellow moneysavers have been scouring N. Ireland for a copy of the Money Diet.

No luck whatsoever. It's sold out absolutely everywhere! Good news for Martin, but not for me :(

    Quick update.

    After ordering this from WH Smiths, (full price - I was still a bit wet around the ears moneywise) and them cancelling it, grrrrr, I used the £5 I received from filling in the online survey that Foxy posted on the Freebies board and took the advice of ukrik and others and took myself off to the Amazon site.

    A couple of days later, one brand spanking new book received ;) (and no money spent in petrol picking the book up from WH Smiths)

    Total price delivered: 2.54 GBP!

    Result. Hope you managed to track down a copy Pink, it's well worth the money ;)

    Think I might put the difference in my new moneybox and call it the first saving of the year!

    :D
