• Considering i dont really read books,with regards to the new updated money diet i can actually say this is one book i am looking forward to reading.
• Just ordered mine, I had a little bit of cashback on a credit card that had been sitting for a while so used that up with getting the book. When is the book likely to hit the doormat, Martin?
• 14th November
• Just so I know to stay home to retrieve it from the postie, before he attempts to unsuccessfully jam it through the letterbox. :rolleyes:
  Good time to release the book, just before Christmas, everyone can knuckle down after Christmas and recoup some of the money spent over the festive season, New Year's Resolution to save money, be more canny with your cash. I hope I can squeeze it into my handbag so I can take it and read it in Starbucks over a hot chocolate when the kids are out. My treat, don't drink, don't smoke so my Starbucks fix is my treat.
• Well, I've done my bit for "the cause"!! 4 copies took it over the Ј15 for free delivery, and I had a Ј5 voucher from a survey company too - so 4 copies for Ј2.50 each.
• just got email about new Money Diet book.
  and i quote from Martin..............
  "The MoneySavingExpert.com User offer
  I pushed my publisher to allow site users to get the book 2 weeks early (14 Nov) via a special deal with Amazon. The price is Ј3.99 plus Ј2.75 p&p (recommended retail price Ј7.99). Yet Amazon's new policy means spend Ј15 and delivery is free, so if you're planning a Christmas shop anyway it's worth combining the two. This deal and price is for one week only. "
  here's where the hmmmmmmmm comes in.................
  "Amazon Shipping Ј2.16 + 59p per item. Free option if over Ј19 spent. "
  above from bookbrain.co.uk
  So Ј15 or Ј19 ?????????
  can anyone shed any light on this, or am i just being daft???
• I have just ordered mine.
  Great stuff Martin keep up the good work.
• Just ordered 4 copies. Gets me free delivery AND three useful pressies! Well done Martin. Can't wait to see it.
• Got mine but had to giggle at the "Perfect Partner" that Amazon have it down with - "The Two of Us, My Life With John Thaw"

• Oh go on then you've twisted my arm. Suppose I can always stick it on the Bay of E once read
• Fantastic news Martin, this site has changed my life! I’m definitely a prudent money saver these days. Always reading the site and forums, telling my friends about the information available and proudly displaying your car sticker.
  My sister has just started at university, and im worried she is going to make the same mistakes I did so this will make the perfect Christmas gift.
  Anyway, my point. . .
  Ive placed my order with Amazon (with a few other Christmas gifts for the free delivery) and received the following email:
  Dispatch estimate for these items: 2 Dec 2005
  Delivery estimate: 5 Dec 2005 - 7 Dec 2005
  2x "The Money Diet: The Ultimate Guide to Shedding Pounds Off Your Bills and Saving Money on Everything!"
  Martin Lewis; Paperback; Ј3.99
  I thought we were getting an early dispatch before general release? I’m not sure I can wait a further two weeks; the anticipation is just too much.
  Can anyone shed any light on this?
  Thanks,
  Paul.
• Hi all,
  Just putting and order through,and when it got to the confirmation screen, just before I handed over my cash, it said expected delivery date 29 Nov.
  That was following the affiliate link too.
  How do we get the early delivery???
  Thanks,
  Pete.
• see here for the Ј15 free delivery offer
  You need to select supersaver delivery - maybe the Ј19 is for free first class.
  paulmarks83, did you use the link in Martin's email to order? If you ordered any other way you won't get it early.
• Using the affiliate link at the moment isn't telling you that you'll get it early. :-(
• Have just noticed The Money Diet is #1 in Amazon's Hot 100 Books at the moment (beating Jamie Oliver and Sharon Osborne)! It's not released for a month!
