to think hot tubs are a waste of money?

[singsinthebath]

Some people I know have spend £5k on a hot tub for their garden.

Of course, it's their prerogative to spend their hard earned money as they wish. (And I nodded along, and faked some enthusiasm for their choice.)

But I can't begin to count the number of better ways of spending £5k than a bath in your back garden. You can't even have a decent swim in it.

If you have £5k spare, would you spend it on a hot tub? Or something much, much more exciting.....?

I have one and love it. A glass of wine and a soak is bliss. I use it probably 3-4 times per week, so it gets plenty of use.

Some people love them, I know a couple of people who have them, use them occasionally (and really enjoy it) but most of the time they sit unused.

£5k isn't that much money to us, I just have zero desire for one.

I really enjoy hot tubs but no I wouldn't personally spend that money on one, as even if I got a cheaper Lazy Spa I think it would be expensive to maintain and not sure what you have to do to clean it but I can't be bothered. I'll save it for a nice treat on a spa break.
