Oh, I think its more "fun" to share a shower than a bath.

We had a massive walk in shower on holiday:D

I count that as well worth it for a once a week treat - that's 96p for a lovely relaxing evening!

I bath the smaller children once a week.. if they are lucky.. the rest of the time they get a 'smelly bit wash' and hands and faces are forever being slopped over. I can normally do 4-5 in the same water before it needs replacing! The oldest 3-4 get a shower as and when needed.

I have a shower when I get round to it and it takes about 5 minutes to wash my hair as well... hubby takes forever.. goodness knows why there is twice as much of me to do!!

I hate having a bath.. it is like wallowing in my own dirt.. bleurgh!!

I'd rather spend my 96p on crisps!!

Thats one advantage of going swimming - use their shower and you have had tha lovely feeling of being immersed in water.

Pigpen - I know what you mean - I adore to have a bath to relax in but I have to wash first so that I am now wallowing in my own muck!

I have a shower every morning. It's an electric shower so I know it uses a fair amount of electricity. I am usually in and out of the shower (hair washed and conditioned too) in approx. 5/7 minutes maximum. (No bits missed!) My friend's daughter spends half an hour in the shower every day.:eek: How long do you spend in the shower and will it change now that utility prices are soaring? I'll still have a shower every day but will aim for 3 minutes maximum !!

ouch

my boys bath daily and i shower at least once a day (yep power shower (its a sep shower cubicle next to the bath) as i cannot get a cheapy shower on the taps

ive tried a strip wash and i just dont feel as clean after is it just me?

I think this could be where I might buy some shares in companies that make kitchen timers - all the timing of showers people will be doing:D

That is a dear price for a bath! Whew! I guess it depends to some extent how deep you have it. I always used to have to have a bath (gas-heated water) - and it was about medium depth in my case. Thank goodness I have an electric shower these days (just a standard one - not a power shower).

Whew - if I was still having to have baths I think I'd be getting a few more grey hairs at the prospect of paying about £7 per week just to keep clean - before I started using fuel for anything else!

<wanders off muttering "how can I find a tactful way of telling people they have over-economised on the keeping themselves clean thing - please shower/bathe more often". Some people are a bit unpleasant to be near anyways on the hygiene front.....:cool:>

pleased you put that. I posted the other day that that it cost us £1 to have a bath, that's 3 of us each day:eek:
I wondered if I had worked it out wrong but obviously not!

no room in bathroom for a shower, so DH has got new bath mixer taps with shower thingy. That's his weekend taken care of!
