We have been shown that there are (at least) two mistakes in this thread.

- in post 78, dated the 8th of august 2016 you have a previous balance of -13, expenditure is 11 :
W06 Summary
Balance from previous week: $-13
New donations: $0
Expenditures: $11
New balance: -$22
Total donations overall: $2340
The new balance is -24 not -22 as stated. This means that from that point on the new balance is two dollars too high.

Then in post 110 you added 10 too much to the Total donations overall :
#109 W47 Summary
Total donations overall: $3465
#110 W50 Summary
New donations: $90
Total donations overall: $3565

We don't mind being $12 short and we are too lazy to update 50+ posts, so we will leave things the way they are. (And we will try to be more accurate in the future!)
