Today my eldest DS is off school because of the NUT strikes.
He is however making himself useful by washing the car at the moment.
Petrol in our area has now reached £1.10/ltr and diesel is £1.22/ltr, this is getting to be very expensive now to be able to go anywhere, especially when as we do we live 15 miles from the closest main shops in town.
I am even moreso now combining journeys as we also every weekend have football matches to travel to as both boys play for teams. Which obviously uses petrol; not that we would stop the boys playing just because of the petrol costs, would just have to find the money elswhere.
Car is now finished and he has decided to make Banana cake using up the over ripe bananas from the fruit bowl.
Maisie,
ReplyDeleteWe are now at 1.31 (give or take a few cents) a litre. That's still near 1/2 of what you pay, but about $5 a gallon. Much more than in the USA. and it's expected to keep on climbing. Definately a good reason to not drive so much. Cheaper and greener, I suppose.
