Welp. I spent money and bought things I'm going to have to keep organised. But they're useful (outside of the art stuff which was self indulgent) and I'm hoping to tidy up a bit and declutter before they arrive.

Edit: Feeling a bit guilty because the girl might have to go to the specialist but everything was under $100. Hopefully at least one of those things means I stop tripping over shit in the bathroom or protect bedding/clothing, and I bought a cheap bowl and platter so the wildlife water stays put

The post purchase remorse always goes hard. When I bought a monitor I was feeling so guilty and regretful about it until it arrived. Even after it arrived I still felt like I shouldn't have bought it for another week.

They sound like fine purchases though, so fwiw you should try and not feel too guilty about it. There's many worse things you could've spent that money on

True, I could have spent it at the pokies

Those sound like items that have good quality of life value. No need to feel guilty.

I tend not to spend much on myself these days, it feels unnecessary until something is a big quality of life issue
