lol.........buy, buy buy - eeeekkkkkkkk!!!!
I might start looking around for one.
I have to just say - the generosity of our DFW community astounds me sometimes. I won't name names (you know who you are
) but we are all really lucky to have such good friends on here.

Hi BB, I may be 'teaching my granny granny to suck eggs' ~ or whatever the saying is :rotfl: But do you have a block in your toliet cisteren? You can get a fancy gel thing now, it was on the freebie board last year ~ dont know if its still avalible.
Also if you have house plants or garden plants use old bath water/washing up water ~ we do, havent killed anything yet :rotfl:
Edit ~ love your new line in your sig :rotfl:0 -
pap - apparently I can get a freeby thing to chuck in my cistern from Wessex Water, the paperwork said they did them, I need to check out the website.
I don't do plants - I have a bit of a weird, (but thankfully mild) fear of indoor plants....and outdoor ones just don't seem to survive my tender touch :rotfl:

depends how you look at it - I am very aware of how much I use but probably pay the same as someone who uses tons of it! I saw someone with sprinklers on their lawn the other day....
yes, west of scotland in April! give it five mins mate and it'll tip it down again.
I don't like indoor plants much either BB, I think they should be outside.Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
