O knihe

Feeling poor because of recession? Feeling guilty because of global warming? Feeling like you`d quite like to tighten your belt, but aren`t quite ready to embrace DIY macramé handbags?

No need to panic. Put down the economy mince and buy this book instead - it`s a blueprint for living beautifully while saving money and easing your conscience.

India Knight (no slouch when it comes to extravagance) shows you how even a dedicated consumer and child of the more-is-more 1980s can mend her ways, embrace the New Thrift, and find her life - and bank balance - dramatically improved in the process. She will show you: How to make wonderful dinners with very little money; How to grow things; how to make jellies, chutneys and pickles and how to can vegetables and fruit; How to dress on a budget and still look fabulous - and what to do with your mum`s old sewing machine; How to make the most of living in a community, from borrowing preserving pans (that`s right, we`re making jam) to starting a toy-swapping group; How to holiday in new and imaginative ways - with only the merest whisper of a carbon footprint; How to make your own fun, from crafts to making presents, from parties to affordable pampering; and finally...How to manage your money - because, frankly, it`s about time we all got a grip.

Above all, India Knight will show you that saving money and tightening your belt doesn`t have to feel like a penance - it can be both fun and glamorous (and a great deal more satisfying than buying the latest It-bag).

Try it - you have nothing to lose but your overdraft.
