The Budget is on and some amusing jokes in between is the main theme
'Wish me luck'
This is the last Spring Budget - with Chancellor Philip Hammond moving the set-piece event to the Autumn from this year onwards.
He points out that 24 years ago, former chancellor Norman Lamont made the same move.
"The then Prime Minister described it as the 'right budget, at the right time, from the right Chancellor'," Mr Hammond says.
"What they failed to remind me was…ten weeks later, he was sacked! So wish me luck!"

Reduction in tax-free dividend allowance for shareholders and directors of small private firms from £5,000 to £2,000.

Shareholders hit
Director shareholders will see a tax break reduced on the dividends they receive.
The tax-free dividend allowance - which was only introduced last year - will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.
That will also affect people with large portfolios of shares.
That's us lot!
