I wash all over and wash my hair every morning, so if there's a problem with the plumbing I get 2 clean buckets and fill them with warm water (using kettle if the hot water has packed up which is often the case when the shower is out of order). I then stand in the bathtub and wash with the one, tipping the c!ear water from the other one over me to rinse off. This is enough to wash me all over, including hair. When the whole bathroom was being renovated, I spread beach towels on the floor in the ce!lar, sat in a large plastic washing basket (with no holes!) and did it there. No way wil! I go out of the house without having had a decent wash. What a palaver - having to get dressed and get the car out and go somewhere else just to shower.
