This morning, having my third FANTASTIC shower in my new house, I reflected upon what a difference a shower makes to your day. The landlord signed the death warrant on my tenancy the day he replaced the inadequately powered shower (which had finally broken) with one of a lower specification. The ridiculous cheapness of the rent was the main thing holding me there after that. It certainly wasn’t the brown dralon germ-infested lounge suite.
I thought, if I’d stayed in my old house and been able to pop round the corner for a pay-shower, how much would I pay? I put a price of £1.50 a day on that, definitely worth that much. Then I wondered how much more I actually am paying than back then. It worked out at something like £15 a DAY!
Actually, the rent at the old place had gone up by the time I moved out so actually I’m paying £9.33 a day over my old lifestyle. I’ve put up my shower fee to £2 … just need to find another £7.33 of lifestyley goodness … :-)
