Washing, work & walk in that order 😆 

Walk was only 2 mins to park and 2 mins back but sat on a bench for 20 mins while the dog sniffed around 😊

New water bill came today. Already pay £28.45 for waste water. Water supply is now £97.27 down from £105.19 last year ! 😁 

Gammon & pineapple with salad & Savers coleslaw for dinner. I bought quite a few “savers” range from morresons and so far have been ok. 

£300 moved to savings. Have £10 left until payday. Have posted DF a Father’s Day card bought in local shop before my fall. £1.40 and bought 6 stamps at same time, both paid from Xmas /birthday etc account.

My goodness that's a cheap water bill 🤗
Your budget allocation is well thought out and your three Ws got a few things done 😁

Total water bill is £97.27 (supply) and £283.69 (waste). Edit - total £380.96. 

2 different companies. 3 bed house. Supply is paid over 8 months July to Feb. Waste is paid over 10 months April to December. How much does everyone else pay ? Is mine cheap ?

I had a bill which is still in envelope. I will check tomorrow. I have two companies too. Well done on walking and food sounds yum. Hope you did have a good day.

I read it that your total bill was under £130 per year 🙈

Mine is just over £326 (£142 ish supply, £172 ish waste) for the remainder of the CT year, but it's included in the council tax. I've only got 11 months of CT this year because of when I moved in. It's also been spread over 7 payments 🙈🙈 the council thought I wouldn't like to spread it over the remaining CT year 🤐 We probably pay about the same if it was a normal 12 months bill for me!

Sorry my fault I didn’t make it very clear that £28.45 was current monthly amount 🤨

Saw a friend yesterday for a nice socially distanced chat at the door. She brought me a mask 😷 to wear when I go to the hairdresser in July 💇‍♀️. I Have t worn one yet. I tried it on last night, it’s not a pleasant feeling, very hot after just a few minutes so not looking forward to wearing it for 3 hours during a cut & colour but needs must I guess!

Does your hairdresser have a garden or car park that you can nip out to and take the mask off for a bit? They are not the nicest of things to wear and I never used to in an old job I had!

What a great idea to have haircuts in the garden. I haven't even tried to make an appointment for July. My bonce is tied into a pony tail. My bob is gone!!!!

@savingwannabe I've not even looked into hairdressers and when they may open up here, although I am eyeing up the scissors. My hair is permanently plaited, only taken out to be washed twice a week, then redone again.

So far there's no announcements up here about them, like there are in England. I will admit I don't wear one when I go out, but do follow social distancing, do contactless payment, have the butcher drop the shopping into my own bag without him touching my bag. As it's raw food his hygiene is a lot better than most with hand washing.

Apologies for taking your diary off tangent SYA 🙈

My hairdresser does work from home so I will no doubt step into the garden a few times for a bit of air. She will be wearing gloves, gown, mask & visor. I have to wear mask & gown & use sanitizer hand gel. She rang me to book me in. I think she is eager on getting back to work for something to do & the money.
