£18,000 might not seem a lot given the expense of living in London, but I manage a very good life on it. I keep fearing that someone is going to tap me on the shoulder and tell me I’m not entitled to so much. I go to the theatre about twice a month and buy tickets for the more unpopular shows that tend to be cheaper. I try to find cheap, local restaurants where they let you bring your own wine, and I usually manage to get a decent meal for about £15. It’s more a discipline that for anything in particular because I’m from an era that always put a bit by for that rainy day.
