    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:

    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....:confused: 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.
