    Thank you @cathybird, I’ve broken my run of NSDs, buying cinema tickets (only £7.50 each though in a beautiful little theatre ❤️)

    On the 7th I bought theatre tickets... for December (it's Count Arthur Strong doing A Christmas Carol).
    And today I'm spending (not even frugally) on groceries. 🥴
    Will try to be good tomorrow.
