I've been working so many hours this week, 4 doubles, plus work training during the day on Sat, and waitressing Saturday night. Can't wait til Sunday, my day off!
DH has been great this week with stuff around the house, dishes, cleaning, etc. He's doing laundry today. I usually budget $20 for this. But sometimes the laundromat can be an expensive outing for him. First, obviously, the laundry itself. Then, his buddies own a floral shop next door. So while he's waiting, he goes visiting. He's come home quite a few times with flowers, and they're just beautiful. I 'assumed' that he was getting the "friend/these were extra" discount. But the other day, he was fixing the ones (he got them before thanksgiving) on our coffee table, and taking out the bad ones. He mentioned something about the cost...it turns out that he spent $50 on them!! You know what we could do with that money? But I know he feels like he's doing something nice for me. I feel like a jerk complaining that my hubby buys me too many flowers! But $50! Please don't make me do laundry on my one day off!
(He wouldn't even let me, he doesn't like the way I fold) :-)

In some ways I guess it is a question of money. But not that little money. If I were calling in to the "can I afford it segment" I would be asking:
"Can I afford a washer/dryer combo for 700K?" (because I'd have to buy a house in order to get one).
It is a very sore point for me .

My (slum) landlord knew that our kitchen ceiling was leaking when it rained-huge 4 foot crack in sheetrock- for a month, and didn't even come look at it. He's an electrician, ha, so that means that our lights flicker when tenants downstairs vacuum, etc. We have to put a towel in front of our kitchen doors(lead to deck) when it rains because the frame around door is rotted. So I don't really think he'd help us out if hookups didn't work so well, then we'd be stuck with w/d we can't use. Ugh. But it's in a great area.
