Day 11: Compulsory Purchase

Only spending today was an annual commitment.

Early every October its time to get the flat ready for winter.  I love the autumn, not just because it's my birthday or the amazing views you get though mist and fog, but because it means it's almost time to start having fires.

So at 7am this morning, the chimney sweep came round and in ten minutes, the soot is gone and - when coupled with the mass clean my partner and I did on Saturday - the flat is ready for winter.

While it costs £50 for the sweep, avoiding a chimney fire is pretty compulsory - and the price hasn't gone up in 3 years.

So no reduction, but no increase either!
