With all eyes on the Chancellor's Budget, the MSE Forum will be the place to unpack the implications for the pound in your pocket in the week ahead.  In the meantime, we take a look back at the week gone by.

If you're not a member yet, here's how to register for the MSE Forum. It's simple and quick to join.

A few of this week's top threads

Here's a selection of what caught our eye recently:

Doily with Ferrero Rocher chocolates

Paper doilies are harder to find these days, but one Forumite is hoping to track them down

Money Moral Dilemma

Every week, the Money Tips email features a real-life Money Moral Dilemma (MMD for short). They're intended to encourage debate and, as such, they're usually among the most discussed threads each week.

Can we uninvite people to our postponed wedding to save money?

We're now replanning our postponed wedding and we're looking again at the guest list. Some people had accepted our initial invitation, but aren't on our 'A-list' of guests, and as we would now like to spend less, is it OK to uninvite some of those guests who had already said 'yes'?

See what our MSE Forumites had to say and add your own thoughts on the Money Moral Dilemma discussion thread. Do please stick to the MSE Forum rules: keep it kind and keep it clean. Remember, there's a real person behind every dilemma.

Got a Money Moral Dilemma of your own? Email us at MMD@moneysavingexpert.com and it could be featured.

Photo of the week

It's St David's Day so we've been thinking about Welsh cakes and delving into the Forum archive for some of the great recipes that have been shared over the years. Senior Forum Ambassador sarah1972 posted this photo of a delicious-looking plate of the Welsh delicacies.

Please note: We love seeing your photos in the MSE Forum, but if you're uploading one, make sure it doesn't include any personally-identifiable information such as your face or address.

Latest comping wins

Bon voyage to redfox5 who this week shared the news they're off to Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates for five nights followed by another five nights in the Maldives. As they wrote: "this is the kinda prize you dream of when you start comping". See which comps are open now by visiting the Competitions Time board.

Your two cents

It's the time of the month when the Premium Bonds draw results are announced. Forumites like to celebrate and commiserate on our long-running 'winners' thread. If you're a bond-holder, how did you get on this month?
