    .... pre bath prep of body brushing and face brushing and facial oil massaging and that you can also brush your teeth first.
    My standard routine's not like that, it's: take off top and drop it inside out on the floor, remove jeans/knickers in one go and toss those onto the pile created by the top .... get in the bath.

    No, not the kicking. I already have someone kicking me and they told me what I can kick them back about :)

    Then and again, probably not the nice boys either. Too nice for me! The only bit of the hen do the other weekend that makes me cringe was possibly putting someone off ever paying anyone a compliment ever again. Oops.

    I'm either a) not cut out for someone being nice to me, b) haven't completed my rehabilitation yet or c) both of the above :o
    That's guff. Don't mean to be rude, but you need to know it.

    Whohoooo,

    Works! certainly liveable with. Just ben explaining to a room full of men why it doesn't matter if a bath takes a while to fill if the water is still warm enough when you get in, all the pre bath prep of body brushing and face brushing and facial oil massaging and that you can also brush your teeth first. :). But yeah, don't choose big baths and puny taps. ;)

    In effort to make it work we have lost led lights. I feel sad for DH, but I shall make it up to him. :)

    When he explained creating hydropower for the lights, it did start to make sense to me.

    Ask doozer now, with a very straight face, if he can drill hundreds of tiny fibreoptic lights into the ceiling to replace the lost LEDs. Like these:

    Whether you want them or not, I want to know the look on his face. :p

    Woken up by Doozerdog having let himself out of the front door again.

    Anyhoo, I found this and thought the nice peeps would enjoy a distraction.

    Stay by Shakespears Sister was #1 on my 14th birthday, which makes it the theme tune of my life!

    Find out yours.

    14th birthday was showing when I opened it, so I left it at that.

    Stay is a beautiful song, but I'm always reminded if the Mary Whitehouse Experience sketch. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gUgmKezH550
    I loved that TV show. And Rob Newman.
    Mine were all guff.
    I always go back to Carl Douglas & Kung Fu Fighting being number 1 on the day I was born. I feel a bit more cool that way...:cool:

    Short version is it looks pretty promising. Long version will have to wait for a keyboard.

    I have a mixer tap here, so as long as it's coming out of th tap at the right temperature, I'm straight in.

    They are beautiful when you lay in the bath but a pig to install.

    I'd always assumed that the size of the tap doesn't matter. I thought that if the tap was smaller all that would happen would be the water would come out faster, leaving you with the same actual flow per minute.

    Now I'm not so sure I'm right.

    EDIT:

    I've done some more business planning. I HATE business planning. I think this new business has merit, however, and I might even actually do it.
