I put the plug in the bath while I have a shower. That way I can collect the water to recycle for flushing the toilet. Some countries have a separate supply of water for flushing the toilet, but here we flush drinking quality water down the pan.

Anyway last week I neglected to turn the tap off fully, so it was trickling for a few hours. I had a whole bathtub full of water and a load of water must of gone down the overflow too. If I didn't have the plug in trying to collect the water I probably would of hear the trickling. What's worse was I did it again a few days ago ! doh

In our new home we have a dark blue carpet and I don't like it very much. It covers the whole house and kind of makes me depressed. I already ripped it up in one of the rooms. Heck now I have to take it the local the dump, and chop it into pieces to put into my car, because it's too big to fit in. I thought I would post up on the a website called freecyle. It's an idea originally from the US, where you post up stuff you don't want and people come to take it off you. After posting it up, I had six responses to this carpet. Shocked, I thought who would want an old carpet ??? Someone cheekily asked if I would deliver it to them as well. It made me feel a lot better knowing it won't be put in a landfill and somebody else would get good use out of it.

Also some thief stole some light tubes I had in the garage, I don't lock the door when I drive out because I can't be bothered getting out of the car again to lock it. Oh well now it's completly empty and there is nothing more to steal.
