To bloody love a bath

[musicalfrog]

It's my favourite leisure activity atm, even more than sleeping (which is usually my favourite).

I can lay back, relax in the hot water, listen to music or browse the web on my phone, read a book, have a glass of wine, take care of myself in a calm way eg shave, exfoliate, wash my hair (not all at once obvs 😆)

Best thing is, ALONE TIME, my kids are now old enough not to want to join me in the bath every single time! 🍾🍾🛁🛁

Baths are epic. We have a huge bath now, and I got a bath board and pillow for Christmas, even DS loves the bath board as he can watch tv/football/YouTube while in the bath.
DH has come in from a run and is now in the bath with a beer and the Scotland match.

A scalding hot bath is the thing I am missing most during pregnancy. I would take the ability to boil myself into a soup over wine, over coffee, and even over not randomly vomitting over unexpected posessions.

Isn't it dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? Like couldn't you drown? Sometimes I feek sleepy and my eyes keep closing but im scared to fall in the bath so I get out

It's nice to hear how much people like things such as baths. I often wonder if I should have one now and then and what am I missing! Except I don't have a bath anymore, I couldn't get my leg over the rim these days without breaking my neck ha ha, seriously!

I was away one time in a hotel that had a kind of sunken bath thing. I got in fine, but I couldn't get out of the damned thing, and I was on my own too. Obviously I got out eventually but not without drama and the fear of slipping etc.

So as much as I like warm water wallowing, it won't be in a bath anymore.

Omg, my favourite thing in the whole wide world. Bubbles, good book, glass of wine and a double raspberry/mango n coconut magnum. There is seriously something wrong with people who do not succumb to this basic pleasure.
😊

I enjoy a bath too, but the getting in and out is more problematic these days.

Nope if I want to lie and read, the sofa or bed are much more comfy. Baths are hard. And bits of you are always cold. And you risk ruining your phone/book. Have a shower, do the self care, wrap up warm and retire to bed. Much better. (And I have a bath big enough to lie flat in. Still don’t use it)

Yeah, I agree. I feel so relaxed. Sometimes too relaxed as I used to fall asleep.
My current house doesnt have a bath. I do miss it, will eventually put one in when we can afford to.

I absolutely love a bath, I have one every evening and can easily spend 2 hours in one. Our bath is the perfect lying down length. I hate it when baths are too long.

Currently in the bath filled with epsom salts and some bubble bath effluent.

I love my bath it’s huge. Since I had the water meter put in it’s scary how much water it takes.

Preach!

I love my bath. I have one every evening. Shower for me is something I do out of necessity in the morning and to wash my hair. The baths the time I relax and chill. My best friend knowing how much I love them bought me a bath tray a few years ago which I place my phone/tablet in and light a candle. Watch a show or listen to a podcast.

I love a bath so much that I have two a day 😬 one in the morning and another b4 bed! I know the environment impact but I don’t drink or eat meat and it’s my one luxury

I have one every evening, Alexa, Simon Mayo, paper, bubble bath- perfect. Shower in the morning to wash my hair, but bath time is my time to myself, and I don't even have any children left at home! However when the grandchildren are round they usually come and talk to me when I'm in the bath and that's lovely.

With some stuff from the Lush shop. That is my happy place.

Nah. don't get it at all. Uncomfortable. dull, and with the constant topping up with hot water, much too demanding of attention. No idea how anyone can relax in a bath.

Incidentally, one PP says she tells the kids to go to the loo before she locks the door for an hour.

This, I suggest, is one of many good reasons not to have the bog in the bathroom, and I can't think of an upside of doing so. Whose stupid idea was it to put the toilet in the same room as the bath and shower?

I love baths, especially in the winter. Coming home after a long day, tired, achy, cold, damp, then running a hot bath full of bubbles and relaxing in it, and feeling all my aches and pains lessen, is one of the best feelings in the world.

I love a good bath. I also love swimming. I don't read in the bath, but I do listen to the radio/Sounds . (Not the news, I want to be relaxed.)

I once had an abscess, for which I was advised to take a salt bath twice daily. It was a terrible hardship...

I do feel it's very decadent, having a bath in the day, though.

Love a bath. I had one earlier where I watched some YouTube, then read my kindle, then exfoliated and shaved. Quick shower to rinse off and wash my hair, fresh pjs, done. I was in there for about two hours and drank two cans of Diet Coke.

Why would you come out feeling filthy?! Unless you’re filthy getting in?

I love a bath NOW (DC are all grown) but honestly, when they were kids and even as teenagers it was a nightmare. You couldn't lock the door because the loo was in there, and someone might be desperate - so they basically saw me as a trapped audience! I never managed a bath without someone coming in, putting the toilet lid down and sitting next to me, telling me all about their day, their woes, their mates' problems.

I love a bath! Nice bath oil or bubbles, glass of wine, scrolling on iPad or reading and complete and utter peace. My greatest indulgence in winter is having a bath in the afternoon lol

Absolutely love my bathroom and NC for this! Nearly commented on the other thread about getting rid of a bath in favour of a shower to say “don’t!” but obviously many people prefer showers. I don’t get them at all.

Showers and baths have different functions in my opinion. Showers are for getting clean. Baths are for relaxing.

Each to their own but personally I detest them and don’t understand the appeal.
