Photo Credit: Brooke Raymond According to researchers who are paid to study such things, a load of dishes cleaned in a dishwasher uses 37 percent LESS water than washing dishes by hand! However, if you fill up one side of the sink with soapy water and the other side with rinse water - and if you don't let the faucet run - you'll use half as much water as a dishwasher does.

clare90 added an entry about lose weight : It’s now or never I think…I can’t go on much longer feeling so crap about myself.I’ve never once been thin or even the right weight in my whole life. I feel like I’m not as good as everyone else and that I’m not taken as serious because I’m not thin. I just want one person to say to me ‘you’re so thin’ or you have a lovely figure. Where to start now though? I’m gonna eat less and move more. I never want to look this way again. Good luck to everyone else with this goal! I can’t wait to buy smaller clothes!
