    Shower every morning and wash hair, bath every night, quite often me and oh bath together. Saves water and we get to chat. Very nice.

    When I grow up (she says) I'd like one of those big corner baths so me and OH can have a bath together

    My sister has a 2 person bath - something like this. You go in head to foot with your bath buddy. :ohttp://www.boundarybathrooms.co.uk/double-bath.htm

    I gave me daughter a bath in it one night and she was terrified. It's huge. It takes an awful lot of water to fill it - and when her boys were little they'd take the neighbours friends round and they'd have about half a dozen boys in their swimming costumes in it. :D
  • Every other day - hair gets too dry if wash too often!! however if i go to gym daily then obviously shower more, or if hot in summer then its a daily shower. My hair takes so long to dry that it would be a pain to do it daily as well!

    I'm hearin' ya :rotfl:I've used shower gel as a replacement for bubble bath if we've run out. I will not get in the bath with just water and not in a snobby kinda way because I only use a tiny bit of bubble bath. I just can't do it... omg I'm gonna have nightmares. I'm just gonna nip upstairs and check how much bubbly stuff we've got :o

    Not showering daily come from living in student house. We're were always hard up so had to cut down on everything to be able to afford the bills.

    I wash my hair in the shower 2-3 times a week, always on an evening. Can't do it more often due to being v long, frizz and dry skin / scalp condition. Use body rub down in sink as wake up call every day - pits, necessaries and feet. Wakes me up :rotfl:

    Never smell bad - I use stuff :) but don't see necessity of getting all wet when you're all covered up all day anyway. In clean clothes, changed twice a day(including socks). Work then home. I never wear work clothes in the evening or evening clothes in the following day ;) But I often apply moisturiser to my arms, legs, torso whether I've washed or not. Coconut oil is the one I use and my skin is silky. Exfoliation is fine just twice a week:rotfl:

    Keep feet, pits and necessaries clean then dry, and all areas moisturised and you're fit to go :D

    I have on occasion gone to work without a shower if I've had a bath last thing the night before, but to tell the truth I just feel manky all day, so don't do it very often.

    I have a bath most mornings, then DH gets the water after me if he's just home from a nightshift.:p
