So complete fail on letting you know about how changes went to suggestions in the small things matter post (sorry about that!) But have been having more of a think about how to be the most efficient we can be and how to run the cottage well. Have been continuing to make small tweaks as and when.
I've come up with a sketch of how our cottage is heated and kept watered. As you can see we have also made estimates of what thibgs cost annually.
Since we have lived here, we have made some one off payments which will see us through (loft insulation, woodburner installation). These help keep costs to a minimum.
We are also planning to build a composting loo this summer, which will hopefully reduce the amount of fresh water wasted by flushing the loo. Also a friend told me of a trick, any time you run water in the shower before you stand under it (10 seconds each time? ) put a bucket under the shower and collect the water, then this can be used from time to time to flush the loo.
We also use the ' if it's yellow let it mellow' rule...
