Electric shower money saving tip.
If you have an electric shower over the bath (rather than in a shower enclosure) then simply put the plug in the plughole as you shower.
If you wash from the top down then this will allow you to switch the shower off once you get down past thigh/knee height and still be able to wash your feet.
Add up all that saved electricity!
10.8kW X 1minute/day X 365days = 65.7kWhrs
Your electricity supplier will be able to tell you how much that costs but i bet it's a fair few quid.

about a tenner
sounds like fuck all, but that's three pence saved everytime you bend down.

as little as that?
i'm surprised.
but anyway it's the principle to a tightarse like me.
and of course that's assuming it only takes 1 minute to wash both legs and feets. probably at least double that for a stiff old goat like me ;-)

edit: and factor in the number of folks using the shower.

Showering is supposed to save water
If I left the plug in whilst showering it would probably just about cover my feet. I would save bugger all by taking an extra minute in the shower to wash my feet.

Yes
Lovely thing to do in the winter in a cold bathroom too. Nice and warming.
