Family Bath Time

Published by familystuff on February 10, 2010

Water is all around us and is fast becoming the most precious commodity we possess.

The county councils will soon have no choice but to install water meters everywhere, and if you live in the country with your own well, the same respect should be shown to our precious water.

Awareness.

Regardless whether you have a family or not, the next time you run the bath, bring a cup of coffee into the bathroom and pour it into the bath and just see the hole bath turn a different colour.

My bath is the average size, if your bath takes two or more people comfortable, please disregard this excerise, simply bath less frequently or share the bath with someone.

Family Tips

When cleaning your teeth, always turn the water off as you are brushing.

Divert the gutter into a container for a few days and fill the cistern, the house proud member of the family will not be impressed, but it will be the normal practice soon. (diverting rain water to bathrooms)

If you have two loos or more use one purely for wee wees and place a two litre carton filled filled with water and place it in the Cistern.

Please tell stories of precious memories you have with your family about Positive parenting, enjoyable recycling, walking trips.

For example;

I took two friends and their kids for a four mile hike in the woods. Half way, we stopped to have lunch and lit a small fire to cook some mash mallows.

Once everyone was finished and rested, all the men (males) put the fire out by peeing on it. The girls thought it was gross and refused to take part. Don’t blame them, espically over a fire.

Two months later I was out with the same family who introduced me to a friend of theirs, shortly after the introductions, Paul (one of the sons) shouts out he’ll teach you how to put out a fire be peeing on it! (what a lovely way to be remembered).

Just for the record, it was a small fire and the ground was reinstated before we left.

This is my first post ever, without assistance. No going back, I’m addicted.
