Not too much! It's okay to use it sometimes but if that's the only water you use, you could risk a build-up (Either salts or whatever type of chemicals are in your soap/shampoos) that could harm the plants. You really have no way of flushing them out unless it was summer and you took them outdoors to water them down with tap water.
Some swear by it while others say to use it in moderation. It all depends on how much you're willing to experiment with it. Once in awhile sounds great but I wouldn't make it my only source when it comes to watering houseplants.

The soapy water helps kill the bugs if there is any. Soapy water is good to water outside plants that you will bring in the house for the winter.
I will not fertilze the plant, so you will still need to fertilize. Soapy water is also good in the summer garden.

Probably not a good idea, most soaps have phosphates in them. Check your lables and switch to bio-degradable soaps if you want to recycle grey water.
