    Three things:

    1. We've installed a tank to water our fruit/vege garden, fill our pool up and wash the car when needed (maybe once every two months). We also sold our black car and bought a silver one so we dont have to wash it so often.

    2. We are trying to keep our showers under four minutes. DH has one in 3 minutes so I figure I can use his extra minute. It is getting hard to do this with the colder weather coming on.

    3. I try to alternate my hair washing nights and leg shaving nights as it is almost impossible to do both and everything else in under four minutes.

    We paid a fortune for our water tank - it came with our house LOL! The house also has water efficient fittings throughout, so we also bought a water effecient washing machine and dishwasher. We also have 4 minute showers mostly - I have to admit that sometimes I go over (I'm using the courier mail timer), but other times I'm under so I figure it evens out. Also DH only takes 2 -3 mins so like a pp, I figure I can have the extra time!
