to bathe?

I can shower just fine, but I can't seem to master this lovely relaxing bath thing that other people seem to enjoy so much.

I got soaked coming home from work today and could just picture myself getting into a lovely warm bubbly bath to warm up.

In reality, I had to wait about six years for the damn thing to fill up, gather all my stuff from the shower room and relocate it to the bath, locate a lighter for the candles etc etc.

When I dipped my toes in it was too hot, then too cold, I nearly broke my neck actually getting in then I just felt hot and sweaty and got out after 20 mins. Now all I'm left with is disappointment and a bath to clean.

Where am I going wrong? I even put the fancy mood-lighting on ffs.

YABU - Baths are lovely
YANBU - Baths are shite.

Baths are shite! I cant bear them, the steam, the grime, the fuss, the awkwardness getting in and out....yuk.

I like to have music playing when I have a bath. Something relaxing. And yes to window open.

I love a bath, I listen to podcasts, have the window open a little bit, Epsom salts, lavender oil and bliss.
I have a friend who doesn’t ‘get’ baths and gets very annoyed and irritated in them ! Different folks and all that.
