Indeed ! & the Ernie winBlackcats said:Yay to the first of many signed off consents!DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Cracking photo 👏 Was the sound awesome? (There was too much band playing dambusters and commentary on the tv to be able to tell from here.)
Well done on the building admin … 😊
