What the hell do you do in the bath?!

I'm sat here, have been for around 10 mins, in the bath and I'm BORED!!

I've just moved into a new house and this is the first place I've lived with a bath for years so I've forgotten how to do it.

I lit some candles (they do that on the telly), I tried reading but my book got wet, I watched the bathbomb fizz around for a bit... now what? Do I just lay here and try to forget the world?

I rarely get to have a long soak but I love them. I can spend hours in there just topping up the hot water every so often. No book. no music. no Ipad. just me and my head full of thoughts filing them neatly away and day dreaming. it's bliss!

Play with yourself?

It is a bit uncouth to do something like that in a bath you share with family. It's a bit like weeing in the bath, a big no no.

I shave, scrub, wash my hair and deep condition it.
I use a mud mask, pluck away any ingrown hairs.
Listen to music, look on the net
I love baths

We had a new bathroom put in back in March. I've had one bath. I'd just rather shower. I get bored in the bath. I once remember a conversation on the radio with Chris Evans about getting bored in the bath. He said it's easy for a man, he play up periscope, down periscope 😂😂

Agree, I get bored, spend more time lighting candles, filling up the bath with bubbles/oils etc than lying in it. The only time I really loved a bath was after a mud run! I was so dirty and achy I needed a soak (like greasy pans Grin

Only time I enjoyed a bath was when I was pregnant.

I rehearse imaginary conversations in the bath Grin DH thinks I'm bonkers. I never get to the "It's been a pleasure to meet you" bit though, coz if I spend more than 20 min immersed in water, my skin gets all itchy Sad

Oh no mumof3, that vision is going to haunt me forever Shock

”I rehearse imaginary conversations in the bath”

I do this too! Grin

Usually I like lots of bubbles, candles, wine and chilled out music. Can never seem to do longer than about 30 minutes though as I start to get a bit bored and wonder what I’m missing on tv Grin

Last time I lived in a place with a bath the go-to was a joint and intelligent drunk and bass.. So 20 years ago..
I hate not having a bath.
Baths are heaven.
