Yup! Constantly washing my hair too 😍. And laundry, more of that as well. Then there's shopping .... All worth it 👍👍👍

We dont have a bath now just a shower.

Sometimes wish we had a bath as a good soak is good for your muscles. I often did that after a long hard day hiking in the hills.

Usually shower every day, but shower after an early run. Sometimes have a second shower if I do a late run.

Keep clean and keep safe.

Regular running a bath! 🏃‍♂️🛀

Interesting! It's the power shower for me, but Mr grumpy does like his bath after a run 😁 ( throw in some Epsom salts, it's good for cramp apparently)

Actually, I'm really really missing my showers right now, I'm recovering from a broken ankle and I can't stand up in it yet. Won't be long though 🤞

So now I plan a hair wash after my run, just a new weekly schedule!

So weirdly I end up having showers to freshen you up in the morning but then the bath in evening after the run! Never been cleaner.
