I have a bathroom with a shower bath and instead of letting out a basthful of water, I leave the plug in and use a 2 litre plastic jug to flush the wc which is within reach without having to step aside. I live alone so this is not a problem. I have a wc downstairs as well but flush that in the usual way.

Good for you.
I think we’re too cavalier with our use of water. So much goes to waste.
OP - so when you have a shower you are up to your knees in the waste water from x number of previous showers?
//So much goes to waste.//

Yes, most of it courtesy of the water companies. Leaks everywhere and pipework not maintained well enough.

Water is a basic necessity and should be Nationalised.

No Dave, I allow it to flow away before I shower which is not every day. I am an old lady.
i cant have a meter so i use it freely
I'm on a meter - I pay less for water now than I did in 1986 when it was based on the rateable value.
We do the same, except we fill a small bowl to flush the loo. It's surprising how soon we use up the bath/shower water. I reckon we've saved a fortune over the past twelve years.
I'm on a meter and I do the same. In summer before washing up, I put a bucket under the hot tap to carch the water before it turns hot. It's amazing how much there is.
cashier, I do the same all year round but use a clean 6pt milk container
We’re the same as davebro, pay way less now, on a meter, than 20 years ago.
We didn’t change our usage at all when we had the meter fitted. I really couldn’t be done with the faff of ‘saving’ water and will only do so if there’s a drought and we’re asked to.
Well done, you are an inspiration. I have not worried much about water but you have shown the way.
In the summer bathwater waters the plants on the balcony. Separate loo so can't be bothered to use it for flushing,
