Only running the water when you actually need it will reduce the cost of heating the water (as less is used) and save how much water you use, too.
You can offer rewards like stickers for the fastest time of the week too – gamifying boring and stressful chores makes them more fun for everyone involved, and this is a good way to save on both the energy for heating water and the water usage, too.
From using a heated blanket to watering the plants with the bath water, here are some less common – but effective – ways to reduce your energy and water bills.
And you can reuse the same water a couple of times through the day – just put it back in the kettle to reboil and refill your hot water bottle.
Prepare yourself at the start of the day with the things you need to work from home or relax on the sofa, and use a portable fan heater or oil radiator to get things nice and warm instead of firing up the central heating.
