    Although I've been ill all week I had to go and collect my wedding dress Thursday (transport cost £7, plus lunch out for me and the kids £25, plus a drink and a bag of sweets for kids £3.30)
    That takes me to a grand total this week
    £62.11
    Oh dear. Although it is as close to target as I've been in 4 weeks.
    I'll pledge £50 again next week please pp.

  • £40.08 for me this week. Making me RED. Not impressed but as I was under last week it means I am still under for the month. Thankfully. Will go for £50 this week as out for lunch on Monday and tea on Tuesday. Then not much else for the week. Hopefully.

    Have a good weekend all.
