As the water shortage continues, I thought I might try a bit of grey water harvesting.
Current plan is pretty heath-robinson, but we'll see how it goes.
Use shower with plug in.
put pump in water, pump out via hosepipe out of window (slightly more complex as the bathroom is on the second floor) into waterbutt via filter (current plan an old pair of tights)
I'm not planning to store it (I expect I'll use it same day)
I'm not quite sure how I'm going to build the filter yet, but I have a collection of plastic plumbing bits, so I expect I'll be able to bodge something.
The real bodge is going to be getting the hose up to the bathroom - I think I'm going to have to use a very long piece of string...
