At home I always shower but love the luxury of a soak in the bath whenever we are away. I find it more comforting than a shower somehow.

I'm a shower person too. We had both a bath and a shower cubicle until last year when Mr M set fire to the shower (daft story, don't ask) and we had to take to the bath after not using it for six years! We had to wait two months until we could get the bathroom revamped and it was awful. Having a deep bath, being heavy and with a dodgy shoulder and a crook knee getting in and out was a nightmare... so we had the bath removed completely and a double shower installed and its heaven!!!

Shower every time can't even remember when I last got in a bath and arthritic hips and knees means I couldn't now even if I wanted to. We had a walk in shower installed last year best thing ever.

I must come clean here grin I haven't had a bath for about 7 years!!
I am a shower person through and through. Think I am too impatient by nature to fill and then wallow in a bath.I love my shower and feel invigorated afterwards rather than sleepy [which is what a bath used to do to me.]What about you? By the way, I am NOT a journalist. grin
