I want to order today as I think we only have 3 or 4 days worth left if we do no washing and swim instead of showers in any case we cant last till the forecast rain on tuesday

FYI @deancameron I did just find that there's a "remind" feature under the decision, if you expand the "undecided" part. But I also don't think this issue in particular should have gone to a vote- it fits in the bucket of "emergency action, do it now" as far as I'm concerned. I guess the fact that money is involved does change things, though. Ideally in future there would be a community account with a pool of funds for things like this we can draw from.

You are right Sam but since it involved extra money I though I should get approval for the extra since we don't have a sinking fund. I have already ordered the water so will need the money in the account by tomorrow.

the water came yesterday afternoon so if we are careful it should last until the wet season arrives. It will still mean short showers and no washing as last year the rain didn't come until the middle of Feb. Can those of you who haven't already paid please put $36 into the trust account 014645-354513559 thanks to sun and Kittea who already have paid and Sam and Monique you were quick off the mark with the 22 so just need an extra 14 thanks all the others please pay the 36 each so we have the water covered. Im paying his invoice now.

Washing clothes is permitted and more cost effective than taking your clothes to the laundromat Dean. Two weeks of washing for you and Wren would be your contribution for another truck load of water. Washing is permitted, unless you all want to take it to vote assessing the data.

I don't really think it's worth washing at a laundromat- by the time we've all done a month's washing like that we will have spent as much cash as if we'd just gotten another load of water. It's also incredibly inconvenient.
