Ah well I have to confess I didn't drink all of them myself..honest!

We had a party and we still haven't taken them to be recycled. I did think I would have a go at making some of my own wine, so was in no rush to get rid of them!

But yeah drink more wine...........it's good for yer!~

Rain water for flushing

Post: # 53293Post yugogypsy »

Hey Zoe,

Google "Emergency rain water filter" then you can filter it to drink if need be. Also look up greywater recycling-that will give you something on getting the bath and dishwater to a tank-I plan to do the same within a year or two. Just got my rain barrel, so I'll start with that.
