    I tend to only use the shower. I can't remember the last time I had a bath and don't really see the big fasination about having a bath. Do you clense yourself in the bath or shower?

    Mighty yokes them baths. Showers are just for stressed people who are always rushing

    Prefer a bath always every night. Too lazy to shower in the morning.

    The animals get a bath, I can't recall ever using it myself though :)

    Normally shower in the bath.

    It's precisely that question which is the reason why I've never cleansed myself for the past 10 years. I just can't make up my mind.

    a hot bath with a bit of chilled out music is basically a legal high

    I used to, but always found it impossible to get the temperature right, always either scalding hot or barely warm. We weren't too well off, so hadn't a shower installed for a long time, so had to use the bath. haven't really gone back since. well I have tried, but still can't get the temperature right. and I can never seem to hold myself up right, so it's not really relaxing.

    Baths are great for getting stuck into a book or if you need to study,but I'd still hop into the shower after too

    Or us tall people. Baths are a pain in the ass if you are tall. There is always some bit of you out of it getting cold.

    Love using the bath with some bath bombs or bubble bars from Lush. I usually shower after though because I don't always feel clean after a bath.

    Won't be doing that when the water meters come in :(

    You'll have to get an unusually long bath. Or weld a cross section into a normal bath, throw on a bit of enamel. Job done

    Our bath is used for 2 thing:

    1) washing the dogs
    2) washing something that does not fit/is not suitable to go into the washing machine.

    The shower is the place to clean ourselves.

    That is all.

    D'oh, you can't dissolve someone in acid in a shower.

    OCD?

    I think the main users of baths these days are widows who want to reflect on some failed marriage while reading a book of advice by Jeremy Kyle.

    Yes sometimes, thanks for asking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭Bambii_


    generally I have a shower, but love a hot bath every now and then. I swear a bath is a cure all, Im always in a good mood after one, and so relaxed! if I had the time I'd have a long bath every night instead of a shower.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 653 ✭✭✭girl in the striped socks


    Once a week I have a bath. It's one of those jacuzzi ones so it's really relaxing. I set aside an hour most Saturdays & just sit there until my skin turns all pruney :)
    Just use the shower for everyday washing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Yeah sometimes.

    I guess your husband kicking the bucket would qualify as a failed marriage.

    with the water charges coming in baths will only be a luxury for the bourgoise


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭saa


    I would more often if I had a proper big bath, not like I'm massive I'd just like to be able to stretch my legs out and lean back on somethings thats a bit more supportive.

    I'm the same. I might have a bath now and again but afterwards I have to shower-have to wash my hair and I'm not using bath water to do that.
    Baths are good for relaxing but I get bored after ten mins

    Do u not have a shower head thing on it? For fresh water to wash & rinse your hair. Handy to rinse yourself off too before you get out of the bath
