I always have a bath in the morning and am using my bath water to water plants, since there is a hose pipe ban. Any other ideas. Btw this is not a thread to have a go at me for using up water having a bath, but for ideas on making water go further

I have to come back to this tthread with the confession that I had it wrong - the Thames Water timer was for a 4 minute shower.

The reason I said 2 minutes, is that I realised using it, that my showers were generally only taking half the 'sand' in the timer.

Mea culpa.
