I was doing quite well with the supermarket shopping before Christmas. But the Christmas shopping was a bit of a disaster, I ended up with loads of plastic bags from department stores etc.

Put A Save-A-Flush Device In Your Cistern - 18 Jan 2006
Unfortunately our loo is a bit defective and we often have to flush it twice to get rid of ‘deposits’ so we can’t sign up for this one because it might make the flush even less effective.

Switch To Energy Saving Lightbulbs - 18 Jan 2006
Some of the light fittings in our flat don’t take energy saving light bulbs, but other than that we’ve done it. We’ve even got some funky big globe ones in the lounge.

Dry clothes outdoors. - 17 Sep 2006
Reply to JoFlo: We live in a flat and don’t have a washing line, but we do have four airers/clothes horses and a window that opens wide. The lounge is normally full of washing for a few days after doing the washing but it saves mega bucks if you do your washing at a laundrette like we do. Reply to susiefoster: I think it depends on what washing powder you use. We’ve started using Ecover and I’m quite impressed with it, jeans are still stiff but the towels seem OK. Plus, being Ecover it’s more environmentally friendly.
