Is that loads?! Or OK? I have no clue.
We were out for a lot of the day.
Made sure lights were switched off when not in use.
Did a 30 min wash at 30 degrees and then an extra spin to get more water out.
Used a sandwich toaster in evening and put the oven on for 30 mins to make apple crumble.
Watched TV in evening.
The children had small shallow bath.
Me and DH both showered.

Yes, that's true too - our hot water doesn't have time to get hot if you wash your hands quickly, or gets scorching so you still need to turn it off and use the cold tap to rinse your hands if you do it slowly. So i always use the cold tap to wash my hands as the net effect is the same. Dp uses the hot tap, despite it not giving him any hot water in that short time. And now our boiler is on the blink. Hmmm.
