Bath.......or shower??

I agree Rosiebee I prefer to read a book while I am comfortable in my bed. I am a shower person. The last bath I had was when I lived in the UK and that was only because there was no shower.

I used to love reading in the bath....but that's one disadvantage of having a Kindle

Never managed that 'reading in the bath' thing. Ended up with cold shoulders if I sat upright or a wet book if I lay down with a neck pillow. Is there a knack to it? I can't quite see the point of reading in the bath. What am I missing? I'd rather take the book to bed and snuggle down to read.

Mornings shower. Evenings bath. Simples.

I am certainly with you on that one Cheelu I tend to shower on a morning for work and have an occasional bath on an evening to relax. There seems to be something about me and baths as every time I sink under the bubbles someone desperately needs to talk to me ! I remember when my daughter was still at home there could be quite a meeting going on in the bathroom, with me sitting beneath the bubbles!

Shower for me , can't remember the last time I got in the bath, we're thinking of taking out the bath and having a walkin shower installed... I don't think I could get out of a bath the way my hips and knees are .. but I never really liked to bath anyway, someone always came knocking lol

Shower for me, only get in the bath when I feel cold to my bones, which hardly ever happens now due to the breakdown of my personal thermostat!

Shower to get clean,,bath to relax...

Shower for morning, get in, get out, get to work. Lovely oily bath for evening, music & candles or cuppa and a book. Hot water followed by warm towels, usually only fit for my bed by then. That's tomorrow evening sorted

Shower for me. I can't see the attraction of reading in the bath, I just like to get clean and get out!

Haven't got a shower, and I just love my bath! I take a cuppa with me, and my book.I can lie for ages, just reading another few pages....and another few pages...aah!! Bliss! I also like it because I can shut myself completely away in there.

Ilove hot baths! And the new one is a quite low corner bath, easy to get in and out of. But I can't do bubbles, because whatever make, they make me itch you know where. So I put a few drops of lavender oil in, or sometimes neroli, and relax. The bathroom is mine, (unless we have visitors) as DH prefers a shower. And I don't like the shower in this en suite anyway, although the actual room has a nice bidet. "Oooh, Nannie, you've got a little bath!"

Love long luxurious baths but it's sooo difficult to get out with a combination of new knees and a frozen shoulder so I normally have showers. Do agree with phoenix about the bathrobe warming. It's been wonderful since we installed a heated towel rail and I can hang my bathrobe over it

Shower for me. Don't think I had a single bath last year. The menfolk use the other bathrooms, but the shower (en suite) is MINE and only mine!

Shower! Had bathroom redone last year and got rid of the bath. Both DH and I had trouble getting in and more importantly out! So had an extra large shower put in - simples

Shower every time cant remember the last bath I had.

Both, hate baths with bubbles in, they seem to get cold rather quickly. Baths should be taken with a drink to hand, a book and with ones bathrobe warming ready for when it's getting out time.

Showers are purely for functional ablutions, after all you can't read a book in the shower.

When Mr P first moved in with me (well, to be strictly accurate I invited him to dinner and he never really left) I was renting a little place that happened to have a lovely bathroom with a big bath. We often would bath together with candles lit and a glass of something restorative to hand.

Happy days!

Love soaking in bubbly baths but I always, always fall asleep

If I haven't got it by now Nelliemoser, don't reckon I'll care much if I do. [shrug]

I'm with Gally on this one. Showers for speed, baths (candlelit and with oils) for spoiling oneself!

Shower, because mine is very large with a big head, I haven't had a bath since I rebuilt the bathrooms last year. I do have trouble getting out of a bath, have to let the water out first and then turn over on to knees and pull myself up

Me too Kitty

I'm quite wrinkly anyway Gally

Both. Showers for everyday and hair washing and baths for a luxurious soak, to warm-up and for seeing to the feet which you can't do in a shower or you fall over . Can't stay too long in a bath as I get too hot and wrinkly.

I hate showers, but also unable to get in and out of the bath these days, so use daughter`s bathlift seat, but that doesn`t allow for lying down, and I do so miss my lovely baths. It`s also bloomin` cold in this weather, cos it doesn`t get me right under the water, and takes ages to go up when I want to get out!
