it's too late for a bath now surely? And I am not well and I am tired and I am on MN and I might go mad and buy another Lands End Stadium Squall which I don't need and can't afford.

define dirty

marriedinwhite · 11/10/2012 22:13

How dirty are you. If it's just a normal day of living life with no mucky filthy jobs absolutely fine.

IAmSheWhoMustBeObeyed · 11/10/2012 22:16

Depends on why you're dirty and when you last bathed?

Do you remember the last bath you had or do you just chip bits off yourself? Grin

WorraLiberty · 11/10/2012 22:17

Oh right lol

Well it's up to you. I'd have a quick bath before bed.

Toombs · 11/10/2012 22:18

It's not going to bed dirty, it's going to bed feeling dirty. Have a flannel wash or a shower to take the edge off it. wash your feet as well, it does make a difference. Bathing is not the only way.

tipp2chicago · 11/10/2012 22:18

Have a shower in the morning, you'll be grand. Sure how dirty can you really be after 48 hours? (Assuming no paddling in shite or the like.)

GhostofMammaTJ · 11/10/2012 22:18

FF&F every day, that is face feet and fanny. Everything else is every other day.

Ummofumbridge · 11/10/2012 22:19

Hell yea. I don't waste time bathing at night when you just get all sweaty in bed. I prefer a nice shower in the morning.

kinkyfuckery · 11/10/2012 22:20

If you don't fancy a bath, don't have one. Have a freshen up at the sink before bed, then if things feel a bit stale in the morning, change the sheets so they're fresh for tomorrow.

IAmSheWhoMustBeObeyed · 11/10/2012 22:20

It's armpits really. So should that be FFAF?

WorraLiberty · 11/10/2012 22:36

FFFAA

Face, Feet, Fanny, Arse hole, Armpits?

Toombs · 11/10/2012 22:37

Knees? FFFAAK has a certain ring to it.

Ummofumbridge · 11/10/2012 22:38

Jeez once you've done FFFFAAK you may as well have jumped in the shower!

RubberNeckerNicker · 11/10/2012 22:38

Christ, you might as well as go the whole hog then (so to speak)!

Toombs · 11/10/2012 22:43

You mean.......hair?

Freshbloodletticia · 11/10/2012 22:46

Face, Oxters, Fanny & Feet in that order. F OFF. Easy to remember.
Oxters are armpits.
How the hell do you get away with no wash since Tuesday? People would be complaining if I did that.

Even when camping FOFF works with a small lukewarm bowl of water.

MsVestibule · 11/10/2012 22:49

So you had a full body wash only 48 hours ago? You're positively gleaming in my book Wink.

IAmSheWhoMustBeObeyed · 11/10/2012 22:51

Right the iPad battery went completely flat which I Chose to take as a Sign and am now bathed. And battery is at 10%.

Nothing bad will happen if you don't bath or wash, a shower would take only a few mins?

It's not that late. have a shower!

AlreadyScone · 11/10/2012 23:05

I once saw a documentary (so it must be true) which claimed that the worst armpit smells are due to transfer of bacteria when washing arse followed by armpits. This also explains the odd "only one smelly armpit" phenomenon, since people often wash both arse and armpit with their dominant hand.

So, I propose a "strip-off wash" at the sink as follows (in increasing order of germiness)
FAFFA (Face Armpits Feet Fanny Arse)

You're welcome.

Don't people have showers everyday? Confused

I'd feel crummy if I went 2 days without one.
