    1) Instead of showering or a bath clean yourself with a rag on a stick. Alternatively the river or sea.
    2) Take a piss outside or in a jug and empty outside.
    3) If a number two poo into a bag and discard by flinging it down the road or out your window. Alternatively ****e in your garden or a neighbors garden.
    4) Lick your plates and cutlery clean
    5) Leave barrels outside to collect rainwater to wash your clothes in and also fill your jacks(if not taking earlier advice). Especially effective if you collect rain through your houses water gutters.
    6) If shaving, brushing your teeth use the gutter/rainwater.
    7) If you drink tea/coffee stop drinking them.
    8) Fill up big bottles of water from work and sneak the water out in a rucksack.
    9) If thirsty do a Bear Grills
    10) Dig a well.

    Any other savings tips?

    No.4 on your list was the most useful and practical. Well, my dog licks the cutlery and plates and bowls.

    Stop burning energy by creating yet another frigging water thread thus saving on the need to rehydrate.

    In my house he'd lick the 12-bore last. Filthy, disgusting malarkey.

    Get one of those 1000litre bulk liquid containers, put it on to a trailer and drive round to the nearest fire hydrant, fill it up then drive home and hook it up to the house water system. :D

    Fill up the cistern in your jacks using the left over water from your condenser dryer.

    Dry cleaning regular clothes is a waste of time and money.

    Buy the Aldi sh1twater/drinkwater converter in the morning.

    Really?

    Isn't there people employed in dry cleaning that might otherwise be on the dole?

    What has the dole got to do with dry cleaning. Do you know what dry cleaning is?

    A person could have a quick cold shower, wouldn't be as tempted to stay in there as long as in hot water.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,720 ✭✭✭Sir Arthur Daley


    Just drive a crow bar through the meter, this can happen constantly. Sure accidents happen in bed.

    Um....that's not what dry cleaning is.

    My dog is very fond of licking me, nearly all over me to: my face, neck, arms, chest, legs. Just any exposed skin. She even went for a lick on my underarm but I had to stop her there. Might save washing myself.
