I thought ooooh just make something woman (my brother in law and his girlfriend made us a mirror and painted a frame and we adore it) and use that saved money for something else.<br /><br />I agree it is by no means a guide (Christ I wouldn't hitch hike if you PAID me), but I did find her food questions and worries something to think about. Why could she get junk food so cheap but 'decent' good food that wouldn't require bigger wiast bands for cheap prices? I found that very interesting and something society has to think about.<br /><br />Some of her tips are bizarre, some work and some are things we've heard before. I like the notion that we don't have to live mainstream, but I am sure there are better books/publications out there that reinforce it in a much better way.<br />Enjoy your read (and shouting at her, which I did at several points) and if you bought it don't forget to take it back and exchange it for something else as an unwanted gift. ;)A Thrifty Mrshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00593954537911177381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006654621847923139.post-78620140258646686792009-04-23T09:51:00.000+01:002009-04-23T09:51:00.000+01:00I'm really not sure living on a £1 a day can be do...I'm really not sure living on a £1 a day can be done... any tips do send my way though!The Curious Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16920550974303475865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006654621847923139.post-11233969588071236462009-04-23T04:14:00.000+01:002009-04-23T04:14:00.000+01:00I can tell you for sure Victoria that hitching is ...I can tell you for sure Victoria that hitching is dangerous.LOL...Maybe the lady in the book don't know any better.<br /> XXOO Marie AntionetteCreations by Marie Antoinette and Edie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03388016394625058362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006654621847923139.post-58959409402549907702009-04-22T21:08:00.000+01:002009-04-22T21:08:00.000+01:00Hope this book lives up to your expectations!Hope this book lives up to your expectations!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955995520615536271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006654621847923139.post-20944148515728727302009-04-22T20:53:00.000+01:002009-04-22T20:53:00.000+01:00I wonder if the £1 a day was as well as her advanc...I wonder if the £1 a day was as well as her advance on the book?
