    How has everyone else done this week?

    Don't ask! I have been particularly rubbish. I have a habit of spending most of my budget in one day.

    I haven't looked in my purse, but I imagine it's mainly coppers.

    I have got mother's day sorted though, and I should last out until the new budget on Sunday. I hope!
    Looking forward to the future.

    Just a quick one to say think I am under budget this week. I am running late for meeting a friend so will post the new thread tomorrow morning. Let me know your results and pledges for next week and I will update when I set up the new thread.

    Hope you are all enjoying your weekend fellow budgeteers and the sunshine if you have some (it is sunny in Glasvegas for once).:beer:
