Thanks to the op for starting the thread as it's got me working out my finances, income/current job satisfaction (both shite but once good, have FT job and carer morns eves) etc. Out of necessity I haven't been to gigs or drank for years & been smart about spending but the reality of what's left of my wages the past 3 months means I need to sharpen my elbows again and earn more end of.
I could work it, but as my only 'holiday' and chance to experience gigs dancing and the rest, its a real contrast situation and may be healthier to get a balance of fun year round. Glastonbury is still the cheaper and ultimate fun option for me. Sorry for the life-vomit just bit overwhelmed and glad this has prompted me to be honest and look at what I can do to make it work
