Thank you all for the time to comment. Yep. I definitely need more money lol... this is abundantly clear now!!

I do know that I need to move on from my 800D but, considering my limited budget, I think I’ll go for the Sigma lens for now to compliment my current set of lenses. Then start some serious saving for a new body in a couple of years time. 90D looks like the next step up for me.

Strange having regrets 2 years after the camera purchase but then its all a learning curve and I realise I have so much more to learn.
I think quality night photography (plus a quality macro lens) will need to wait for now. Cant have my cake and eat it too... For macro, i have a set of extension tubes which while finicky (in my opinion), they do rather well, the only issue i find being their very narrow fov.

Thanks again everyone, really very much appreciated.

We have all the same story... Maybe you should buy a money printer. Should you find one, let me know where you bought it!!!

There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
