Unless you have a severe case of the trots an incontinance problem you will find a toilet is not high on the consumption for domestic water usage its probably only equivilent to one minuite in the shower (depending on your water pressure/flow rate) ,so try looking at dishwashers/washing machienes ,baths etc first as this is the best savings you will find.......Tim

Depending on it the toilet is clean , or has been used.
If clean - it can sit for a couple of days.... but the some of the water will evaporate and if you have hard water it can leave a ring around the bowl... if you use drop in tablets that have a color the color concentration can discolor the porceline.
If it has been used.... not only will the waste products grow bacteria and smell, it can also create by products (ammonia etc) that will not only discolor the porcelin bowl of the toilet but begin tp break down the material that makes up the bowl and it might eventually crack.
Better safe than sorry.... flush.

No, it's not ok unless you want to be ill. If you are desperate to save on costs get a water butt and fit it to a drainpipe. Use that water or use the water left from your bath or the washing up water. If you just have a wee I expect that would be okay - you could always put bleach down the loo afterwards. If for anything else go and knock on your neighbour's door, tell them your toilet's broken and use theirs! Use your friends toilets too!

yes absolutely fine.
if ur going on hols!!
if it's yellow
let it mellow
if it's brown, flush it down
not a bad philosophy, especially if u are on a meter!!
i would keep a little bleach on top of the systern or window sill if u have one and just a quick squirt will kill off most of the nasties.
good luck.

I hear that they do that in England - because they get charged a lot for the water..I may be wrong... But I live in Scotland where there is loads of the Wet stuff.. I wouldnt like to have a Loo with loads of Pish lying in for days...phew!

if you are worried about the water cost i would recommend that you put a brick in the cystern and you use less water to flush make sure the brick is not touching the workings

probably not, when you go to flush it after a couple of days it will probably clog from "a couple of days" worth of toilet paper and everything else, not to mention the fact that your bathroom would literally smell like ****..
