Bathtime...


The type of book I like to read is set about 100 years ago and the family haven't got two ha'pennines to rub together and their bath night consists of a tin bath in front of the fire, a tiny piece of carbolic soap and a raggy towel,  and the whole family got in the same bathwater!!


Some years later here's what my bath night consists of...



the all essential hair dye, not that I have many grey hairs you understand!



a selection of bubble bath,



some "soap and glory" body scrub that smells of strawberries,




a fluffy towel and some body lotion,



nail varnish, heel balm and tweezers.



There's also candles, a glass of wine and a magazine, do I realy need all of this???

If my nan was still here she'd say "when I was a girl all we had was a tin bath and a little bit of soap"!!

Ahhh I know what you mean, I have two bathroom cupboards bursting at the seams with goodies - it feels a little greedy but my gran would have loved it ha ha xx

It's not that long ago when we used to bath in a tin bath in our kitchen in front of the fire!!! Hey, and I'm only 54!!!! Never mind a 100 years ago!

Isn't it luxury to just turn on the hot tap and have instant hot water instead of boiling the kettle to fill the bath tub, which took so long to do that the water you had already added to the bath was now stone cold - as of course we didn't have central heating either!!!

You are so right!!
I like to make a real meal of my bathtime with all my pampering goodies!

Saying that, even I remember bath times when I was a child. We didnt have central heating in our old cottage so I would jump out of the bath, mum would wrap me in huge towels and I would run down the stairs to get warm and dry off in front of the fire..... Good times!

What a lovely selection of toiletries (I'm addicted to them myself!). Does the Cath Kidston stuff smell as good as it looks?
