Default I want to strangle something!
I've been saving up all my pennies for a book, which costs £5.99 from Ottakars for over a month. I decided, a few days ago, to go into town to go buy said book, only to find that Waterstones have bought over Ottakars. I went inside anyways, and found that they had bumped the price up to £12.99!!! I am REALLY angry about this, I've wanted to read this book for a long time now and I have to raise more than double what I already have! I tried looking on Amazon, found it was £5.99 there too but the P&P is really high so there's no way I'll be getting it any time soon. eBay's even more expensive than Waterstones, so that's out of the question too!

Amazon are TERRIBLE. They advertise for £5.99 but when you get to the checkout it's almost £10.
