    I can recommend the Standard British Finger.

    The finger can be used for many different applications for money saving, it can pull a plug out of a socket, it can switch lights off, if you get fed up you can also put you finger into a ****** or any where else you care to put it :D
    You may click thanks if you found my advice useful

    Black and Decker TLD100 thermal leak detector. Recently purchased and found my cold spots straight away.

    If you are water metered then a brick in your cistern and possibly one of those limiters on the shower flow too..... ( would never do that myself as I do like a decent shower)

    Agree with reducing the amount of water in the cistern - but not a brick. Bricks are likely to fall apart and produce unwelcome bits and pieces.
    Have found that a collection of stones from the beach can be more easily fitted/sorted so that just the right amount of water is excluded to maintain a decent flush. No debris.
    Forgotten but not gone.

    Or an empty plastic bottle filled with water...

    Or, an empty plastic bottle filled with cola would work just as well.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
