Re the OP, why would this matter or be of interest to anyone else?

Three minute shower here as well. Haven't had bath in donkeys' years-find them boring or I overheat and my head goes all funny. Can go from nightie to out of door in 5 mins. Can't abide faffing-too much to do.

I do the faffing before the shower -read emails, Gransnet, Facebook; do crossword on line. After shower, moisturise, dry and scrunch hair, track down some clothes and get the washing on.

Does sitting in bed with a cup of tea reading Gransnet count as faffing?

I spend most of my life faffing around, but am a breakfast in pjs, shower and dress person. DH is the one who wanders around with a towel around his waist!

Three minute shower and hair wash, towel dry, moisturise and dress. I some how feel guilty about lounging round in towel and dressing gown. I wonder why? confused

Don't usually faff. I also like a hard towel that dries well (so not a man thing). It helps with exfoliation and is good for circulation. End up feeling energized which I don't if I hang around faffing in a damp towel.

Yes Ana. Fire only lit in the afternoon in the forties. Weekly bath. no bath robes that I can remember. Just towels. Lifebuoy soap. I'm digressing. Nice to have the choice of bath/shower/faff/dress/pjs/lie in bed with Gransnet .... aren't we lucky?

Hilda I think a lot of us grew up in houses like that! grin

That's why it's nice to have the luxury of being able to wander around in next to nothing after a shower, whatever the weather outside!

I usually have breckie in my dressing gown then go back upstairs for shower. After which I sit on the bed wrapped in a bath sheet. Moisturise, dry hair, do makeup. By which time I'm mostly dry, quick rub of any damp bits, then dress.

Morning Shower towel dry myself, moisturise and dress, can't be doing with faffing the day is too short as it is.

hildajenniJ Mon 29-Jun-15 11:24:41

No faffing about in towels for me. I am a three minute shower woman. In, out, dried, moisturised and dressed as quickly as possible. I think it all stems from having to get up and dressed in a house with no heating, except for one room, when I was a child. The habit never left me.

Charleygirl Mon 29-Jun-15 11:21:53

I have a shower at night and then go to bed to read my book for an hour or so.

Liz46 Mon 29-Jun-15 11:09:47

Shower every morning (after an hour or so at the allotment), wrap myself in a bath sheet, clean teeth, dry bits that are still wet, moisturise everywhere that sees a bit of sun. Get dressed and dry hair.

I used to say that I could not go out without a shower but DH convinced me how ridiculous it was to shower and then go to the allotment

Soutra Mon 29-Jun-15 11:01:49

I am actually still at the PJ clad faffing stage, haven't made it into the shower yet blush

Bellanonna Mon 29-Jun-15 10:48:56

I get dried and dressed. Then faff

J52 Mon 29-Jun-15 10:42:30

I moisturise and do other beautifying things (hoping they work!) wrapped in a huge towel. But I usually stay in the bathroom.

Kitty my DH also likes the small old hard towels, is it a man thing?

I'm sitting here in a towel slathered in moisturiser (eczema treatment) waiting for that to sink in before I put my clothes on with oil on my hair waiting for it to dry off a bit (the hair not the oil) so I don't have to use too much heat on it and encourage the frizzies!

Ana Mon 29-Jun-15 10:26:42

I do the faffing in my dressing gown - like Soutra, a towel would at some stage fall off...

Nonnie Mon 29-Jun-15 10:25:13

Towel, moisturise and get on with life. I hate faffers, don't think you and I could live in the same house Kitty I would drive you up the wall. grin

Soutra Mon 29-Jun-15 10:24:27

I am the former, mostly because in my long life I have never quite got the hang of faffing without the damn towel undoing itself.
Not a happy sightgrin

kittylester Mon 29-Jun-15 10:21:02

towel yourself dry and get dressed or wrap yourself in a towel and faff about?

I'm a faffer and do all sorts of things while still wrapped in a big, soft bath sheet. I open curtains and windows (only upstairs), make (or change) the bed, answer and send emails, phone/message children, SiL, brother, apply 'product' to my hair, moisturise my face etc. One thing I never do is go downstairs.

DH towels himself down very vigorously with a small, hard towel (his preference).
