How the feck do first-time posters even dig up these old threads?
I'm probably going to get hammered for this post with all the flood water around in England but there really are easy ways to save money - we have saved literally hundreds over the past few years by not chucking water away. We re-use waste water from washing up and from the washing machine for outdoor stuff such as cleaning the steps, the patio and the dog runs, also use it down the toilets instead of flushing which uses up to 40 litres of fresh water each time. Last time our water meter was read the council guy was very suspicious at the low reading, he obviously thought we were fiddling the meter somehow,
How do you get the water out of the washing machine?
Simple - we have the waste water pipe feeding into a large water butt instead of down the drain. There's a tap low down on the side of the water butt so we can fill up a bucket from there.
Thanks, I had images of trying to bucket the water out of the front of the machine!!! It's a good idea
