if your Bath or shower breaks down,an opition?

The problem with using a gym is that you generally have to sign up for a certain number of months and they don't make it easy to cancel. It's good advice if you already go to the gym though.

I wash all over and wash my hair every morning, so if there's a problem with the plumbing I get 2 clean buckets and fill them with warm water (using kettle if the hot water has packed up which is often the case when the shower is out of order). I then stand in the bathtub and wash with the one, tipping the c!ear water from the other one over me to rinse off. This is enough to wash me all over, including hair. When the whole bathroom was being renovated, I spread beach towels on the floor in the ce!lar, sat in a large plastic washing basket (with no holes!) and did it there. No way wil! I go out of the house without having had a decent wash. What a palaver - having to get dressed and get the car out and go somewhere else just to shower.

Surely you would stay at a Wetherspoons hotel in such an emergency 😀

I wash my big mop of hair and shower every morning. Even I could survive a few days by sticking my head in the sink and sloshing flannels around.

What a strange thread Sorry infoman but if my shower broke down I d temporarily wash some other way if I had no one I could call on to come out and no friend or relative to help out I d do what they did in them there olden days and have a strip wash
I no more dream of going to a gym than taking a bar of soap into the sea Actually now you mention tat there’s free hot showers on the sea front, problem solved ( but no I wouldn’t do that either)

When we were students we regularly used the university gym showers to save using our own (expensive) water heater.

Our local sports centres/ swimming pools/ golf centres etc all have showers too.
They may be worth a look at.
