As I said above we took ours out about 5+ years ago and put in a cabinet.

It has a seat if you're tired / unwell.

If you're cold or have a cold the steam is the nutz.

And then standing under the monsoon or being blasted by the body jets.

Haven't regretted it.

I don't sell them btw.

Mmmm! Damn. I don't know what to do anymore

The number of times I've been in a bath in the last ten years I can count on one hand. Though I take two showers most days, just to qualify that

No particular reason tbh except that I don't have the time and I tend to find them a bit boring. I'll generally only give it a go if we're away in a posh hotel room.

I tend to have a need to be doing something, whether that's reading or whatever. Never got the hang of doing that in the bath.

Yeah, it's a sad fact that neither books or kindles are compatible with baths. I get bored in them too, even when set up with a glass of wine and candles. I should maybe put a nice picture on the ceiling....

When summer comes with the humidity I always have a bath in cold water as it's just really refreshing, come winter I have a shower in warm water.

I can upload the video here if you like.

I can not be responsible for my fat arse blocking the camera lens

We took the bath out a few years ago. You get to a certain age and it's a safety hazard. I miss it occasionally but prefer a shower. Too many memories of shivering in a tin bath in front of the fire to have any great longing for a bath.

Who is responsible for that? Were you kidnapped?

Not only do I not have baths were it up to me I would replace the bath and the stupid powerless shower with a standup shower stall and a power shower. One of the showers directly above your head.

Mmm, I have that in my house! Have a lovely re-conditioned range that actually does heat the house now, and plumbed in an extra big immersion tank so we can get two full baths a night if needed and the radiators still ticking over! Just as well, as the shower would still break your heart with the water pressure

yearning here! My feet rarely get warm these days.. the thought of hot deep water and a warm bathroom..The oil here ran out two years ago and no way will I fill it...e ah well! Have a bath for me please! And enjoy it

When I had " free " hot water ie a backboiler and an open fire, I had a hot bath every evening before bed,, Looked forward to it all the day long. Hot bath, clean nightie.. bliss!

Pffff baths, give me a lake and bar of soap any day

Lollipops23 · 01-02-2016 11:18AM

I don't have a bath

If I did I'm not sure I'd use it- in my last apartment I had one and I think I only used it once in 2 years (when I was fairly ill and weak).

kylith · 01-02-2016 11:47AM

I took m bath out about 18 months ago and I do miss it occasionally; a hot bath with lots of bubbles, a glass of wine, some music, and a book I don't mind getting steamed. Total bliss. Had I had something to keep the water hot I'd never get out. However I did up the bathroom and got rid of it because a) I didn't actually use it that much and b) it was a pain in the hoop climbing in and out of it to have a shower. I have a lovely electric shower and a big enclosure now, which is much more practical.

I self built a large outdoor heated jacuzzi which serves when I feel the need for a bath or a foreplay location. I would like to remove the bath from the house therefore to increase the size of the bathroom in general. But I have a child and a baby - and play two more babies - and the bath just seems to work much better than showers for them.

But someday I will rip it out I guess.

silvervixen84 · 01-02-2016 12:14PM

I haven't had a bath since my parents installed the shower, when I was twelve.

I'm nearly 32 now :eek:

There is just a time in your life when you have to lay back and make waves in the tub with those little ww2 ships floating around all comfortable in warm relaxing suds and war bubbles watching the ships go down to the abyss. That is what brought down many a ship in the bermuda triangle, the methane bubbles.

Kindles no. Books, absolutely. I LOVE reading in the bath. Hardbacks can be a pain alright but a trade paperback that you can just dry out if it falls in (which has only happened me twice, I think, in many long years of regular baths)? Can't beat it.

The One Doctor · 01-02-2016 01:48PM

I love baths. Have been known to spend 3+ hours in the bath before my daughter arived. Now it's down to a one hour bath every two weeks. Recent moved into a house with a jacuzzi, but the air pump is so loud that I dare not use it for fear of waking little Sleeping Beauty in the next room.

Ah the sacrifices of parenthood.

cowboyBuilder · 01-02-2016 01:56PM

Last time I took a bath was after nearly dying from a hike down the Grand Canyon and back ....

showers since then ..

I don't. Gonna get the bathroom done soon and will likely get rid of the bath and just have a large shower.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 01-02-2016 02:23PM

I like baths to relax, usually with wine a bath bomb and some company. I like going away to hotels with big baths and will spend so much time in those baths I'll end up wrinkled up.

I don't like baths as means to washing myself. I'll soak in a nice warm
Bath and then jump into the shower afterwards. I like my showers on the cold side of lukewarm, especially if the bath was roasting.

Grace you don't have to fill it - sorry if I've taken you up wrong, but you can buy agri diesel or kero by the can at the pumps for about 60c a litre.

Of course someone has to climb up and tip it in the tank and by this time theres probably an airlock but not insurmountable.

Dravokivich · 01-02-2016 02:27PM

Baths are great for the old Netflix and chill.

And by chill, I mean...

...chill

We'll be all washing from a solar panel powered hose soon under a tarp if the greens get their way. Sponges will cost €60 each (And I don't mean the dole one's) a trickle of water to use. And when it comes to cleaning your arse at the bottle-scale, Alan Kelly will stop the life liquid right there just when you need to clean well.
