    I use water from my shower to flush the toilet and only flush about every second or third time I have a pee, always after a poo. If you're a bloke and not using paper when you pee, you could leave it much longer. Too much paper without flushing can block your toilet.

    I ALWAYS put the lid down before I flush and have a sign asking visitors to do the same, although apparently some of them can't read or don't care that flushing with the lid open sprays all sorts of things for quite a distance.

        Buckets in the shower, when they're full take the top off the cistern, turn off the tap from the water supply to the toilet and fill cisern from buckets. Easy!

        I don't know about other places, but here in Australia I think it's ridiculous to be flushing the toilet with pure clean drinking water. In my previous house the shower was over the bath and I used to leave the plug in and collect enough water for flushing the toilet and watering the trees.
