I'm not talking about showers, I'm talking lying/sitting down in a tub.

We have been having one about 3 times a week (me and dp share bath water), but I'm wondering if this is too much? We shower the other days, obviously. I know people who never have baths as they say it's too expensive.

Does anyone know how much it costs to have a bath (from the water usage perspective?) Our ater bill isn't outrageous so I'm curious to know how much the baths could be adding to it.

Daily

PurpleDaisies · 31/07/2018 20:21

Once every few months.

user7680 · 31/07/2018 20:22

Never. Showers everyday

ivykaty44 · 31/07/2018 20:22

I haven’t had a bath for about three years

DramaAlpaca · 31/07/2018 20:23

Never, we all prefer showers. I can't actually remember the last time anyone in our house had a bath.

ivykaty44 · 31/07/2018 20:23

No sorry tell a lie I had a bath in a hotel last October 😂

Are you on a water meter? If so, have as many as you can afford. If not, have as many as you want. You already share bath water [boak] so are doing your bit anyways. Unless you also fancy taking a load of laundry in there with you too, that would save a few pence a year.

PandaPolarBear · 31/07/2018 20:24

Annual bath. Sometimes skip a year.

I have no patience for baths though.

lavenderlove · 31/07/2018 20:24

I only have a bath fitted in my house Sad hated it when I first moved in but I'm used to it now. I get one every day but most days it's a shallow one and I'm in and out after a wash

Medea13 · 31/07/2018 20:24

Never, can't stand them. Uncomfortable, boring, a waste of water, wreak havoc on my skin.

DesignStatement · 31/07/2018 20:24

Never
Showers daily

DontCallMeCharlotte · 31/07/2018 20:24

Everyday. We share bath water and during the hot weather we then use the bath water for the garden.

carrie74 · 31/07/2018 20:24

Rarely, much prefer showers, and our en suite has a shower only. Maybe 2/3 times a year?

Cherubfish · 31/07/2018 20:25

Most days

DontCallMeCharlotte · 31/07/2018 20:26

(If I lived alone it would probably be once a week with quick daily showers but DH likes a bath.)

jaseyraex · 31/07/2018 20:26

Probably a few times a month. More at the moment as I prefer a bath while pregnant, much more relaxing. No idea about water costs though, in Scotland so no separate bills for me.

cocacolaaaclassic · 31/07/2018 20:26

Sharing bath water is grim.

delphguelph · 31/07/2018 20:27

Only when it's cold. I do sometimes jump in with the kids tho

iamyourequal · 31/07/2018 20:27

Daily, but it’s quite shallow, so I don’t imagine it uses any more water than a shower. I love the bath!

RoseWhiteTips · 31/07/2018 20:28

Daily.

EnglishRose13 · 31/07/2018 20:28

Before I had my son, I had one every evening. Now it's rare. I haven't noticed a difference in our bill.

Chickoletta · 31/07/2018 20:28

Most days. I shower every morning and then usually have a bath before bed. No wonder our bills are so high...

Bluntness100 · 31/07/2018 20:29

Never, i get bored easily. But I really can't imagine sitting in someone else's dirty bath water and finding that in any way cleansing or therapeutic.

Ohyesiam · 31/07/2018 20:29

Never. Too slow, and dull.

Daffodillie · 31/07/2018 20:30

Never! Showers only! Can't bear the feeling of lying in the water (plus our bath is extra long and I am a short arse, always worried I will slip under 😂)
