yep that is the fun part - not easy at all

At least we in a family of 3, now have the laungry to 1 load a week - which we hand wash in a tub of shower water, then only rinse in the washing mashine.

We use waterless handsanitiser for hand washing - not water. My showering method is turn taps on, dash in get wet. Close taps, soap and wash hair, turn taps on and rinse whilst water heats up.

I wont lie - shaving legs are a bitch so I am looking at waxing legs - cos people look at me funny with long leg hair.

between my brother and I in dec we got our usage to 40L per day for the two of us. . . .

I am concerned about hygiene there are going tobe serious medical problems if that goes out the window

#1668

meh who cares what hey think , go bush go

Thatā€™s impressive. Iā€™ve heard some crazy stories from people fighting at virgin active to some people saying the water crisis is a myth and Cape Town canā€™t afford to run out of water.

Iā€™m pledging to deliver water through gift of the givers and I hope it helps.

I spent roughly R1500 for 3 weeks of water and that was just me. I cannot do this uber saving bullshit, not when Iā€™m working and studying and whatnot. Needs my lotta water

#1671

my biggest worry is those trucks bringing water for the shelters and so on, are gonna get hijacked if they advertise that they are coming down.

#1672

Not too serious from not washing yourself. Biggest issue we had in Vryheid was young children with diarrhoea from drinking dirty water and bottles not being sterilised properly.

#1673

Mine too, I just donā€™t know how much it would help in the end

#1674

3 or 4 got hijacked here during the 3 weeks, they had to get private security

#1675

:rofl: So gift of the givers brought a truck full of 5l water bottles to Vryheid Hospital early in 2016 when the problems started. Hospital staff took all the water home :angry:

That is why I worry about the water being brought in.

Meh

#1677

I still think itā€™s right to try

#1678

Yes of course. Youā€™re giving water. Whether it gets stolen along the way doesnā€™t negate that.

#1679

I agree, I think water at this point will reach their destinations. I know all the water and stuff we donated towards Knysna got there safely.

#1680

So weā€™re all set for Mad Max style shenanigans - trucking around with security vehicles fighting off water pirates.
