    Hi, I'd like to join again this week, having been successful last week! This time, however, I am being more extravagant as I have my bi-annual haircut this afternoon. So I'm pledging £50 (£40 hair :eek:).

    Hi everyone, first post updated with new pledges!

    Welcome 666paw and good luck with the challenge!

    Good luck L7oopys with your very admirable pledge!

    pp virtually everyone I've spoken to today has had quiet weekends - I think it's the weather, so dull and dreary!

    Enjoy your haircut antonia1!

    I've spent a couple of quid on tins of beans today that the supermarker I did my shop in on the weekend didn't have, but they are out of my food budget, so nothing to declare here! Working till eight again tonight - £27 in my pocket next month... niiiiiiiice :T
