RE: Do you shower over a bath?
I'm sad to say I almost always have a bath, mainly because our shower is so weak it takes ages to wash the shampoo out of your hair. On the good side 90% of the time either my kids or husband use the same water, so I don't feel too guilty. Sometimes one bath full does the whole family, but there is no shaving allowed[:'(]
RE: Do you shower over a bath?
If you have a plastic pipe to take your waste water away (and it's outside the house) you can (legally) insert one of those rainwater diverters and store it in a water butt to use on the garden. In the last big draught a few years ago, we got a pump and pumped our bath water into buckets for the garden - OK if you live on the ground floor and can do it out of the window, but carying buckets of water down the stairs. GGuess it may come to that in the future though!

Or you can place a container into the bottom of the bath to catch usually wasted water - i either use it in the garden or in the mop bucket to wash the floors.

The BBC website has some top water saving tips - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/2945018.stm - they say having a 5 minute shower instead of a bath can save 400 litres of water a week.
We got a shower timer (!) from www.nigelsecostore.com....
Well I preffer to take a bath rather then a shower. But i would search online if any of this is true. But it think bath saves more water as compared to shower.
