Are you a shower or a bath person? And how often?
 
Showers all the way for me, one of life's unsung pleasures. One to two a day. Sometimes three, if i play sport early on and then go out in the evening.

I am rather British in decent and take real objection to the aussie 'soap dodger' banter but have just discovered that my very English neighbours don't bathe everyday and don't make their sons, 10 and under, do so either. I was gobsmacked.

And, yes, it's a slow news day.

People don't wash properly every day? Really? :ohmy: It's no longer the 70s.

Always showers and I probably have a bath once a year if ill or staying in a hotel with a special one. Showers are a good place to think.

Did you mean 'descent' or' indecent', makes a lot of difference to the post.

By descent is what i meant. Brain storm. Rarely indecent these days!

I think if I don't get to shower once a day, I would just go postal.
I always plan on a nice long bath but never the time :(

Your DEWA bills must be massive. We have a ten minutes per shower rule in our house, not that my wife takes much notice.

Shower, never a bath cause I am OCDish and bath just feels icky sitting in one's own dirty water.

Could you be more obsessed with money?

Only an obsessive would have a time limits on showers. :rolleyes:

When we first arrived in Aus, we had major water shortages happening. Every household was supplied with egg timer type things and we were all told never to go over 4 minutes. Now we're on tank water and the husband is always shouting at Tiddler about taking longer than 4 minutes. :rolleyes:

I'm planning to have a bath this weekend.

Shower once a day generally for prob 25 odd mins but can be two or three if situations dictate, they'd be short 5-10 min ones tho.

Baths every 3-4 months I'd say. Generally during hotel stays.

How can you stay in a shower that long? I am sure it takes me no longer than 5 minutes to clean everything.
