Tip for saving water

Fellow Gransnet members may well be doing this but thought it worth mentioning. Because I hate wasting water (and am on a water meter!) I keep a washed six-pint milk bottle by the sink and "harvest" the cold water that runs before the hot water comes through. I then use the saved water for rinsing, peeling potatoes, etc.

Good idea, fivegee. In a similar vein, I keep a largeish jug in the bathroom to save the run-off water for watering the numerous plants that live on the bathroom window sill. It's amazing how much they drink.

Always do that.
I do pedicures and the water from the bowl keeps my lilies looking fabulous all summer. They must like the bits of sugar, salts and skin!

I keep a hug of water in the fridge so we don't have to run the tap when we want a drink of co!d water, hate running the tap to get it cold enough
