Do you have a jacuzzi? Ooo I'd love a jacuzzi

[expatinscotland]

i'd soak my auld, tired bones in it every night.

oh no you wouldn't like one at all they have about a billion micorbes in per cubic litre

yeah, think of your ladygarden, expat

No I don;t

Well. I've been trying to work out why my lovely white towels (all neatly folded mumsnet stylie of course) have been going varying shades of brown.

We've investigated the tank, the pipes, the taps, and yesterday I realised with a it's the jacuzzi outlets.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

I'm off to post on housekeeping how to deal with it.

And btw expat, mine's certainly too noisy to relax in. Not that I've actually ever got in or anything.

Now what you really need is one of those shiatsu massage chairs.

Heavens CF. Yes. It's very important to have fluffy white towels correctly folded and on display in the bathroom. That's why I was so horrified about the mystery brown patches.

OK, lets think how to explain this.

Take towel, fold it in half (narrow side to narrow side). Then fold in the long edges, about a hand's width. Then fold again, narrow side to narrow side.

There! You can now stack your towels with no nasty rough edges showing.

Then you'd need my advanced top folding and stacking techniques, taught to me by a flatmate trained personally by French Connection no less.

I've just spent the last 4 hours bubbling my jacuzzi with bleach. EWWWWWWW.

It's dyed a white flannel that got caught in the whirlpool rusty black and has left hundreds of iron filings all over the base.

I don't think it's even remotely clean yet either.

I should point out here that I inherited this with my house, so it's not me who's been a disgusting non-bathroom cleaning bint

i still fancy one. but only if it's maintained by someone else.

Expat - next time you nip over to Sydney, mi jacuzzi e su jacuzzi.

(hopefully by then I will have it fully deconaminated and blushing with aromatic oils)

We have a bath with inbuilt jacuzzi!
Dont really use it to be honest as it is quite loud,also it needs cleaning regulary.

at cabana boy. Could you get the owners to fence it?

We were actually turned down by the owners of a house with a fenced pool, said they couldn't forgive themselves if something happened to DD. I was gutted.

You really DON'T want one!

We have one and it chuffing well stinks.

It has got so bad that we have done some reading up on it. Can't remember the percentages but apparently the water you bathe in contains large percentages of faecal matter and other crap (scuse pun) and in some cases legionnaires...

They are a fecking stinking health hazard and emit black gunge when you least expect it.

I remember watching that Kim and Aggie programme on channel 4, who said a good way to clean the jacuzzi jets was with enough water in the bath to cover the jets and washing powder? I have no idea if it works but they had a gleaming bath afterwards!

I hate them.

Once in a holiday, a little girl started transfering water from the jacuzzi to the adjacent pool, she went on for enough time until the jacuzzi outlets were slightly exposed. As they were exposed the water started splashing out of it and it was not long before I passed by the side and got a bit of "water" splashed on my face. Clorinated or not... that water had the texture of margarine! so... no thanks, don't fancy to stew myself on other people's fat.
