. I want a massive one that feels like being in the rain,

Get a plastic kitchen colander and hook that to the ceiling, then drop the shower head into that and stand under it...... MSE

Not a lot. Just busy, running around even more than normal. I've just finished an excel sheet at work and have loads more things pending. Need to look some things up still.

It's ok. Will get better soon.

I've not got much shower experience, just a couple of cheap/cr4p rented hovel showers and a couple of corner enclosures that had OK/normal showers. I've never seen/been in a posh shower.

I do get scared by the box on the wall, wondering if it could give an electric shock and trying to stop water splashing on it, which leaves me very little room to actually shower. I get dizzy in showers, e.g. when I am standing with my head tipped back so the shower head is washing off my shampoo, then I put my head upright again, I sometimes am very wobbly and there's nothing to grab to steady myself. Also, trying to stand on one leg while shaving the other one with a Bic leads to lightheadedness, as well as wobbling about on the one leg.

Showers are good to have available, but as a sole source of washing it can be tricky to get all your bits cleaned without mishap or contortions.

I only like double showers, that you can sit on the floor to shave your legs. It's my only stipulation really...big and preferably no curtain.

My parents shower is fantastic. It has a window and you look out in the shower over fields and woods. People u used to rural isolation are worried people see in, but no open does, and it's just a superb view. Best thing about their house IMO, if we built a house I would definitely want to incorporate that.

Grr, right now I could quite happily strangle my ex husband.

Won't give full details in case of prying eyes but the upshot is he has upset the two younger boys and made middle son very aggressive this evening through an idea not very well thought through.

Arggghhhhhh!

Thank you Lydia!


We added a bit of insanity top the garden today. It's brilliant, or will be when it's finished. Bird houses on ten foot posts. The bird houses are instead of a twee finial or knob, and Re disproportionate, so the posts look taller. It Looks deranged so I am very happy with it. We only got one up because we ran out of light, but it won't take long to finish off next weekend...Dh thinks we should go out with a torch and finish tonight

Did you post pics as I skimmed a chunk of thread so may have missed them? Sounds fab.

we had to work Sunday afternoon and though the night as had to deliver a 2 wk pop up to the london holy grail of shops. Exhausting and only 3 days notice to organise lorry/ big strong men to work out of hours sunday night and so on .......so as a treat on Saturday I went a bought a deluxe bird feeding 'station'. It's very suburban but I love it.
It has hanging things for all the different small birds and trays for the parakeets. All feed nicely together at the same time now.:) They almost (but not quite) share the space. Pigeons and magpies get what drops on the ground.

Chewy, and other London peeps...what are your emploeyers' plans about travel/work over the games period?

We have been driving past one for months now and every day a new road appears or a new giant space station stylee building.

Going to be a PITA for us I think as we drive past and have no other route. Maybe we'll have to walk instead.

We note that the stand for telly cameras is directed at nice georgian buildings etc and not the estate right by it.

I did love the corner enclosures.... room to stand in the shower and towel off before stepping out.

Something like this, so the doors are in the middle and slide back on the inside of the enclosure: http://blog.victorianplumbing.co.uk/Images/rio-900.jpg

I've never used/seen a double shower in real life.... just on property programmes on the telly.

I am a little the wrong side of ideal weight, with a clothes size range of 8-12 ... and yet I've encountered showers with doors so small I struggle to get in/out. The worst was in some B&B some years back, the two sliding doors of the tiny enclosure met at a corner .... and even with them both fully open I could only get in through the gap sideways.
