Not wrong... an airtight empty container works well too. It floats and helps to 'push' the lever up faster. Works for me!Originally posted by the Bear:actually, wrong..
place a totally filled bottle in the cistern...

if it floats away from that lever, it's not going to do anything..
do what pufferfish does and you save a litre per flush

assuming 3-4 flushes per day, each month potentially can save 100 litres of water per toilet. And there is no difference in performance. Humm.. maybe can try to add another bottle to make it 1.5 litres?

try and tell us
maybe it's time to change that old 750ml bottle i have in my cistern
-
ha, maybe I will try later. I was afraid that the bottles may breed god knows what inside, thus I added some detergent when I filled up the bottle
-
breed whatever, it's going down the drain anyway right?Originally posted by pufferfish_79:ha, maybe I will try later. I was afraid that the bottles may breed god knows what inside, thus I added some detergent when I filled up the bottle

The best way to save, is to control your spending . . .

My company gives us free flow of packet drinks, tea, coffee, milo...Originally posted by huiz:i buy soft drinks, juices or milk & put in the refrigerator at my workplace so tat i wun buy from the canteen's drink stall.
My lunch costs $3 max.
Cook at home with your partner. It nurtures your relationsip, is healthier and gives you more food at less cost.
Move near your workplace. That's why rent, don't buy. -
Actually I find that writing down all your expenses daily helps save money.
it makes you conscious of what you spent on and how you're spending your money.
It worked for me when i was living in Melbourne with $600 per month for anything and everything you can think of... (... ok, it was 10 years ago, but it was still very little money for rent, food and utilities)Originally posted by Dounut:

And I agree with you that writing down daily expenses helps control one's spending habits! I'm still trying to write down my every cent, everyday... sometimes it's a struggle to do! -

my tips is.. to buy less of denim skirt.
what i am doing is collecting my cousin (bro) used levis or denim which has worn out.
I will just cut the denim short and un-thread the inner "leg" either sew the skirt up or trim the front "inverted V" add a pc of nice cloth act as deco.
Another design is to add old skirt with button or lace to spice up the look.
Voila done..
