This weeks winning tip

This week regular money saving tip contributor Sheila Clayton, 77, of Bassett, Southampton, has come up trumps with her advice for saving water.

She said: "If you have metered water and are waiting for hot water to come out of the taps save the cold water that comes out beforehand. You can use this for watering plants in the house and garden. Also, when you boil the kettle put any water that is left over in a flask to keep warm and use throughout the day for drinks or to top up your washing up water - this saves money on electricity too."

By reducing wasting water by just ten per cent you could save around £25 on a metered water bill according to the Consumer Council for water - certainly no drop in the ocean!
