What do you do?

To save stuff?

Im anal about toilet paper & water..

I unwrapp stuff at the shop & leave the packaging there...

I wash snaplock bags & gladwrap

Is anyone else a freak like me???

a question - what do you do with the glad wrap once washed?

when we were in Japan the packaging was ridiculous. go to Mcds - drink, in a cup, placed in a bab. Burger, in a box, then in a bag, chips ina bag, then in a bag, spoon and straw in a bag, then everything in a bag, and if you look like you are struggling with other bags, then this all will be put in another bag.

You'd be amazed at how many people starve in the world & how much people spend on food & diets

YAY grey water recyc's. What powder do you use?
Yep BOYS are dirty lil creatures aint they I live with 4 of them... 1 works with rubbish, 1 works with Electrical stuff & the other 2 "play" as work

i use persil, always have done. i tried the eco stuff but it didnt clean as well! and then persil put more smell in their powder and i didnt like it so now i use their aloe vera or sensitive ones... sometimes tho for my towels i use a wash ball!

the first place i look for clothes is in the pile on the floor that i have taken off.
I dont believe babies need to be washed that often when they are little and certainly not in fancy washes and shampoos.

I've cut back to bathing my girls every second night (eek, sometimes even every third ]) but if I'm totally honest it's coz the water dries Mercedes exczema out, plus it's too cold at this time of the year, has nothing to do with saving water altho that's an added bonus.

We're pretty slack actually, I recycle plastic bottles but don't bother with the tins etc. and having a DP that works at the refuse transfer station is not motivation coz if we have too much rubbish for the bin he just takes it to work and dumps it.

But I do use cloth nappies, can't quite get my head around cloth wipes tho. And I use tupperware/plastic containers wherever possible to avoid glad wrap/ plastic bags. And I do use the pram to carry my groceries rather than plastic bags if we're walking. And I reuse the plastic bags for all manner of things.

Washing wise I do a huge monster load in my new industrial machine with nappies, baby clothes and our clothes all together, the only things I wash separately are Willie's work clothes and thats only coz he works with chemicals etc. at work.
