Quite right Ana - I live in Leicestershire!

£91 for an oil boiler service

£7 for a dry cut

£21 to have my cat put to sleep (no dog!)

£900 (plus cost of paper) to have dining room, stairs and landing painted, papered and emulsioned. Sounds a lot but it is an absolutely b*** of a job - 5 windows, 7 doors and only one piece of paper can go on without being cut around something !

Piano not used so not tuned

North Yorkshire

My dry trim costs the same as the OP' s. Seem to remember DH doing some decorating in the dim and distant past. No dog. Boiler under a year old.

South East.

€35 for cut,wash and blow dry here in Dordogne - I paid a similar price in South Wales too but when I had high/low lights they were cheaper in France. Most other services are more expensive here I think but luckily we can do most things ourselves.

Never realised how much I was saving by always doing my own decorating. 500pound seems an awful lot.

I pay 24pound for roots, trim and blow dry on pensioners' day in South Cornwall.

apricot it is cheaper in London to get a boiler serviced-£75 and I thought that was daylight robbery.

I have never had a dry hair trim but a cut, wash and blow dry is £22 but at hairdressers about 2 miles away, it is £45 +++.

to have your boiler serviced? £105 here.
to have your piano tuned? £75 here.
to have a small dog's teeth cleaned (4 premolars removed)? £212 here.
for a dry hair trim? £12.50 here.
to have a room (9ft x 14ft) and stairwell painted? £500 here + paint.
and any other everyday expenses. I wonder how they vary according to where you live? I'm in the south west.
