Me too, I log it weekly and use around 0.9 M3 per week, according to my meter which I voluntarily had fitted. I had it fitted after doing some calcs after my partner passed away and I began dealing with the bills. The bill back then was close to £600 pa, a meter would bring it down to just over £200 pa, with no special reduction of usage. The online calc suggested £300.
Mainly WFH these days and don't socalise much, so 3 showers a week does me
3 baths per week and 3 showers, the odd day I might skip both. I only get a wet shave in the bath, that is what I am accustomed to doing.
Far too often. I do a wash usually once per month, I never wash until there is a full load. Thing is to have plenty of clothes, so the dirty items can stack up and wait. I never use a drier, I either outside line dry on my DIY devised push along, load from one spot line, if the weather suites, or use my DIY devised indoor lines, with fan and dehumidifier in the util.
I have a large dishwasher in the util, but it is rarely used, only when I have visitors for dinner. I have no particular regime for hand washing, I usually pile them up until it becomes a problem, usually once per day.
I will often skip a day, if I dine out, which I aim to do at least once per week. Which I did yesterday - a terrific carvery at a pub a few miles distant. All freshly cooked and perfect, I had turkey and beef, mash and roast potatoes, sweetcorn, peas, roman beans, stuffing, yorkie and gravy. With a pint, for £10.84. They serve the meat and the yorkie, you pile on as much of everything else as you want. I never bother with a sweet, because compared to the main course at £7.39, sweets are ridiculously expensive - besides, after that lot I have no room for anything else
I can wait until I get back home for seconds.I don't garden, so never need to water. All I do is take a ride round on the tractor mower to cut the grass and spray some difficult areas with weed killer.
