The Book

Here is the latest book I am reading its called
"Nouveau poor or how to live better on less."
It was written in 1976 by two English women Barbara Griggs and Shirley Lowe.
Its full of great Nouveau Poor style...............
"We've discovered that even if life can't be as materially easy as it was a few years ago, ago it can be every bit as enjoyable.
All you need is style.....Nouveau Poor Style!!!"
The book was written over 30years ago, who would have thought that things would turn full circle, with the price of petrol , groceries, cost of living and interest rates increasing the way they have. Even though it doesnt have a chapter titled "Sell your things on Oztion or Ebay" it does have some very useful information on surviving these crazy times, by reducing our costs and still being comfortable.
It was a 20c op shop find.
