    mine broke as well.

    I came home from a meeting to discover the sucker on the wall but the timer broken on the side of the bath (+ 3 showered ppl). No one 'fessed up to it breaking but it was probably the glue (it might be water based so lost it's bond in a damp atmosphere?)

    I received mine the other day but had to collect it from the post office! They had left a red card for collection because it was classed as an oversized package due to it not fitting through the letterbox! Lol

    Mine was nicely shoved through the letterbox - postie was going to get it through no matter what!!

    Got mine on Saturday and was promptly tutted at by DH for getting 'not another useless freebie'! But I used it on Saturday and was quite impressed that I managed it in 3 minutes! The only problem is that we haven't got an electric shower, so 30 seconds is wasted whilst the water heats up! I want to help the planet, but cold showers isn't how I'm going to do it!

    I received mine last week amd popped it up in my shower cubicle, last nite I heard a weird noise and found the timer in the bottom of my shower tray with the sucker cup still stuck to the wall! Maybe its called the 3 minute shower timer because it only stays stuck up for 3 minutes haha!
    I'll try fixing it lol Nice freebie tho;)

    Got mine today - wonder how many times my OH will have to reset it just for one shower... he's usually in there for at least 15 minutes...

    Thanks OP!

    Got mine too! My 20 month old loves running round the house with it and then screaming when the bell goes off! Excercising the dog the Smirnoff way! (oh yes, and it did encourage oh to take shorter showers!)

  • Well Im the odd one out here!
    Mine stayed on the wall-new smooth tiles.It still works. The water never touches it tho-the way our shower is directed. Only I use it-the others just laughed. Well-I tried!!! Use it as an eggtimer?
