Lady (Dogs Trust, Glasgow)

Lady is a 14 year old medium-sized crossbreed who would like a home with someone who is around most of the day. She's still an active girl so if you're looking for a walking companion Lady might be the one for you.

Libby (Second Chance Greyhound Rescue, Somerset)

Libby is 10 years old and is currently in foster care, waiting to be offered a permanent home. She's a very friendly greyhound girl who gets along with other dogs and could live with sensible children. Can you offer this girl a place in your life?

Princess Tara Banana (Oldies Club, fostered S.E Cornwall)

Princess Tara Banana is a lovely white boxer girl who is good with other dogs and can live with cats. We think she will turn out to be great with kids too. If you have a big pile of rubber balls and are wondering what to do with them, Tara is the princess for you!

Twist faucet makes you work for your water

Most of us are used to opening a faucet, and getting an endless stream of clear clean drinking water. But environmentalists tell us that the fresh water supply will become increasingly tight in the future.

To make us think about how much water we are using, designer Harvey Bewley has created the Twist Faucet. Despite its ultra cool styling that would look at home in any chic designer's bathroom, the Twist makes you work for your H20 by cranking the knob in and out. If that's not enough to remind you that water isn't free and endless, there's also a digital readout that shows your consumption, along with a water temperature readout.

The Twist is just a concept for now, but if they decide to build it, I would suggest adding a water limiter that shuts off the flow after a certain number of gallons. This would bring a additional benefit by limiting how much time your partner might spend locked in the bathroom.
