Bit concerned about your Cinema bills too!! Popcorn + 4 packet of crisps a large Sprite and a ticket only sets me back a little over 200.00!!
As you say.. 68K is pretty good living IMO..
150 peso a month you got your meters jumpered? EDIT: oops I thought you meant the electric you meant water

Cinema, I think our tickets are 120 odd peso each in Mall of Asia, popcorn, drinks, hot dogs and other junk would add up to the 400 peso for two, it's only approximate I don't count the change or check the prices

I've checked the electric, we use low energy everything but as I've mentioned to you before on other power usage thread she uses 4 electric fans that are probably running 24 hours a day making the place hotter rather than cooler, that can be up to 280 watts with some of these fans being 70 or more Watts each. Fans light TV and ref would realistically be 1800 peso a month the way she uses them and the prices Meralco are charging these days. Aircon used 8 hours at night can eat horrific amounts of money I prefer to live without it but it important to Ana can cost 2000 peso a month or more just for aircon :(

If she paid the electric bills on time we could get onto the equivalent of a white meter night rate much cheaper but she's not that disciplined sadly :(

Now I understand, you meant water, Ana is obsessive compulsive on cleanliness, we use a lot, an awful lot of water Our water bill in the Condo was similar 5 years back maybe just 600 rather than 1000 but I mean she REALLY uses a hell of a lot of water.
