Splashed out today on cinema (kids AM) and burger king with the kids. Total cost £30. It's the one treat of the holiday but didn't feel very comfortable. Need to do burger king vouchers or something next time. Think I just knew we couldn't afford it all the time we were there.0

It's not a nice feeling is it when you spend on something and have that at the back of your mind. But never mind as you say it's the one treat you've paid for pre LBM you would no doubt have spent a lot more over the holidays wouldn't you." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

True. I'm not sure this is really my lightbulb moment though.0

Hi, I think you're becoming much more aware of what you spend and why you spend it. What triggers a spend and how you feel about it. That's the LBM really. So next time, listen to yourself and think do I really want to do this or would I/we prefer something else? But...you can't cut out everything, not during the holidays...so don't beat yourself up. One treat is pretty frugal IMO.
