I'm also with essex and Suffolk. Essex and Suffolk estimated that two people use 130m3 of water per year. Which costs 362 pounds.


But on the 1st month we used 3m3 and month 2m3. So at this rate there is no chance of using 130.


Do you have an online account. As there is the option of downloads of these bills.

I will have to check my account, thanks for info.:)

Just finished cleaning my front windows so thought I'd pass on my 'tip'
I just use hot soapy (washing liquid) water with a scoop of soda crystals & wash the windows & frames with an old flannel. I then use a rubber scraper like the window cleaners do (or a shower scraper works!) the soda crystals really help cut through the greasy film. Just make sure the windows are not in direct sunlight otherwise they dry too quickly & leave smears. As my house faces East/West I do the front in the morning & the back in the afternoon. No special products & works on mirrors etc inside too.

One for the ladies if you wear tights. If they don't have a labelled back and front, then put a couple of stitches on the inside of the waistband on one side this means you'll always put them on the same way and they will last longer as they won't end up baggy at the ankles from being worn different ways.

Try to put tights on before you put your jewellery on and just after you've put moisturiser on, this prevents jewellery snagging on your tights and the residue of moisturiser on your hands will also prevent snagging.

If you're putting on a very sheer pair of tights put on a pair of cotton gloves before putting them on. These will prevent any snagging at all. If you don't have a pair of thin cotton gloves then try charity shops/ebay for a cheap pair (if they aren't a colour you would normally wear wash them with dark coloured jeans to tone them down and then you have a pair of lightweight gloves for the start of winter).

Was wondering the same thing.

I use the inner bag of cereal boxes to freeze bread in.

When the cereal has all been eaten, rinse out the bag and leave to dry.
I never use a full loaf before it goes stale so when I buy a new loaf I take out half, put into the cereal bag, clip the top and put it into freezer.
When you need to defrost just leave the bag out or take out individual slices for toast.

Thats them, lie it on the floor in the shower and it collects the run off, stand plants on it when watering, loads of uses, one person I know has one for when he drains oil, as they are slim they fit under most things.
