BerryJubileeCheesecake · 30/05/2012 20:31

The evenings have been so hot recently, I like to have a quick shower before bed so I can go to bed cool. Apprently this is bizarre and no-one else does this Hmm. It seems logically to me to keep cool, i can't be the only one who does this? Hoping some MNetters do it too, if so, this will be second time this week MN has agrees with me and he was been wrong Grin

I do it sometimes ..... 'tis up to you. It's nice to go to bed all fresh and clean.

Thetokengirl · 30/05/2012 20:33

My DH does this regularly. I then just cuddle up to him to just get the coolness as I am too lazy to shower before bed Grin

I often have two showers, I hate it in the summer when you wake up all hot and ickyyicky and a bit sweattybetty.

so YANBU!

catgirl1976 · 30/05/2012 20:34

YANBU - I do this too - Its nice :)

usualsuspect · 30/05/2012 20:35

You can shower when you like

forevergreek · 30/05/2012 20:40

We both do this, avoids sweaty bed so can change once a week as usually instead of every few days ( hate thought of dirty bed!)

hiddenhome · 30/05/2012 20:41

I always have two showers each day, regardless of the weather. I hate going to bed feeling all scruffy.

OTTMummA · 30/05/2012 20:49

I always do this, my normal morning shower and then a nice hot shower for cold nights, or a cold one in hot weather, just before bed, although I have had three today, am 32 weeks pregnant and i just had too much back of knee and boob sweat to feel comfortable after my lunchtime walk without one.

idontbelieveanymore · 30/05/2012 20:50

I am another one for mostly having two showers a day. Maybe one day a week I might not have shower before bed but generally I feel yuk if I do not have a shower and put on a fresh pair of pj's.

HappyJustToBe · 30/05/2012 20:51

YANBU. It is nice to feel fresh before bed.

ASByatt · 30/05/2012 20:53

Am amazed OP that IRL you have been made to feel that you are being odd!

It's been hot today so I will want to shower before bed rather than taking my mildly sweaty armpits etc off to my lovely bed, and I need a shower in the morning to start the day feeling awake fresh and clean plus I'll wash my hair. Not unreasonable.

Plus DH is the same.

LittlePicnic · 30/05/2012 20:54

YANBU- it makes perfect sense to me!

Mibby · 30/05/2012 20:54

Yanbu, ive had a pre bed shower for the last few warm, sticky evenings. Monday was a definite necessity, we had no air con at work!

bobbledunk · 30/05/2012 20:54

yanbu, I often shower twice a day, first in the morning and second after exercising, it's good to feel fresh and clean.

giraffesCantFitInThePalace · 30/05/2012 20:55

yanbu

hatesponge · 30/05/2012 20:57

YANBU.

If I had a shower, I'd be in and out of it all the time in this weather.

AnneofGreenFables · 30/05/2012 20:59

Shower? Shower? Does getting in the paddling pool with DS count?

SmallWhiteWine · 30/05/2012 20:59

I always do. Normally I shower morning and night, but at the moment am having warm showers before bed and cool baths in the morning. I couldn't envisage not having a shower before bed tbh. I don't want my nice sheets to smell Grin

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 30/05/2012 21:00

It's rare I don't have two showers in a day, fairly often 3 :)

RetroMom · 30/05/2012 21:05

I don't like snuggling up to a smelly/sweaty bod, so we both shower mornings and nights.

My children however, they're allergic to water!

SauvignonBlanche · 30/05/2012 21:07

YANBU, I do.
I sometimes shower at bedtime but always shower after work so when it's very hot that can be 3 showers.

DuffyMoon · 30/05/2012 21:14

uh oh... you will get the wipe your pits with a flannel is just as good dont understand why you need to shower brigade after you ;)

ENormaSnob · 30/05/2012 21:25
