Our painter man's finished,. job done and very nice it is too, he's coming back tomorrow to check his work and sort out the bill, and the scaffolding comes down Friday. Now the jobs done I'm expecting a change in the weather.

I’ve been having a rummage in the shed and found some Ergon grips. I love Ergon grips, the palm rests make my rides so much more comfortable. Might as well put them on the “ For Sale “ thread, they’re humungous, Ergon GP5 Biokork ( thought they might help with the mismatch between me riding Mrs Tenkaykev’s bike on the turbo ) 😮

Just paid my water bill online. £45 for 6 months.

I’m inclined not to notice mine as it’s lumped in with the council tax.

Mine is paid in (I think?) 8 monthly instalments of £45!

Ten payments of £19 for us, that is water and sewerage charge, Northumbrian Water.

Maybe I should get a water meter fitted?

I can't see why I should be paying so much more than you lot!

Job done!
Caravan fire is back in place and running on gas and electric.
Reckon it would have cost over £400 to get a dealer to sort it.
I did the job for £45.

WOW!!!!! £214.93 for 6 months here...............................

Even more than me - mine would be about £180 every 6 months.

I have friends paying much less with water meters fitted in their homes.

I'd like to water down my bills (*groan*), so getting a water meter fitted should be added to my TODO list.

Been invigilating this morning and intended to go for a ride this afternoon but : " not in the mood for it really" so postponed till tomorrow as I am free most of the day, apart for a short trip to the tip at 1 pm.
Took Molly to the beach instead.

I only have water. My sewerage is a septic tank. That's why mine is a lot cheaper than you lot. On the plus side, we have never had to have it emptied. It works on biological breakdown.
