My lovely Bath

Oh how much I love a bath.

A shower is all well and good if you're in a rush and need to get clean quickly, and I know that a shower is better for the enviroment, but to have a bath with my fave Molton Brown bubble bath is heaven, I could lie there all day if only the children would let me. If they do I will let them in the bath after I am done. So really there are three of us getting clean in one bath when I know for a fact that I would use more water if we all had a shower.

How do I know this I hear you asking? Well, one day we tested it by putting the plug in while we all took a shower and when I finished washing my daughter and myself the bath was full. So in our house the bath fills up on two people, well one person and a small child.

When we became the owners of our house we had to replace the bathroom as it was old and very, very broken with one of the pipes leaking. So I went shopping for a nice pea shaped bath with taps, sink and toilet included, for only £500. It was a bargain. The pea shaped bath was ideal as I could still lay out even if the children had joined me, which happens quite a lot in this house.

But back to the bath, the thought of it now is just so nice I'm almost tempted to go and put one on.
The warm water just eases those tired muscles and the bath gives me time out from the monsters.

The only thing I have to be careful with is my pacemaker. If the water is too hot when I get out my pacemaker will start pacing me as soon as my heart rate drops (when you get out of the bath this will happen as the blood vessels all open up due to the heat and take the much needed blood from the brain and vital organs). This is very bad for me as blood will pool in my legs and, if I didn't have the pacemaker, my heart would stop and I would collapse. But now with my lovely pacemaker none of this happens. So I can have the bath as hot a I like and I don't need to worry.
