    Hello everyone! :wave:

    Checking in to report that I've done my sums and will pledge a HUGE £410 for the week! :eek:

    I have a lot of things to fork out for this week:
    - Food shop.
    - Mini-treat in the summer.
    - Bathroom shower and taps upgrade (needed and long overdue!).
    - Insurance for motorbike.
    - Petrol.

    I hope to pay for it all today, and not spend a penny more for the rest of the week! fingers_crossed.gif

    I'm off now to spend the rest of the day on comparison websites to see how low I can get my insurance. tired-sleeping-smiley-4634.gif

    Have a good week everyone, and I hope the sun is shining where you are! sunshine-012.gif
