Re: Sunday night was bath night....

I'm sure I've posted this elsewhere in here but the theme tune to 'Black Beauty' still makes me want to have a bath. That was the sign for my sister to get out the bath and me to get in.

Bath Toys

What sorts of toys did you take into the bath. Over the years I remember having a traditional rubber duck (which I still have) a little plastic wind up dolphin and hippo, my little pony seahorse thing and hello colour teddy that changed colour in warm water. Sindy sometimes came in for a swim too!

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

I used to fill the bath to the overflow and submerge myself totally(holding my nose because I breathe in when ever my nose hits the water unless I hold my nose). Then I would just be still and listen to my heart beat for as long as I could. Then repeat as often as I could before being shouted down by mum............... occasionally I would get washed, just occasionally.

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

Nah mate i'm a gemini! My mother used to make me rinse the dirt off in the shower when I'd finished in the bath so I was squeaky clean and ready for my pyjamas and my supper and a bit of 'Thats Life'. Then bed so I was up for school on the Monday.

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

I used to do the add a bit more water thing too. I was a bit of a water baby I think!! I used to love being in water. Be it he Bath or just going swimming. I'd spend ages on a sunday night in the bath.

you must be a pisces like me then.
we are both water babies.

thing was a bath was supposed to clean you.
problem was once the dirt came you into the water by the time you got it was all over you again.

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

yes thanks for reminding me stuck in the eighties.


hatted the thought of getting out of the bath so i just ran the tap a bit longer.
of course the hot water soon ran out.

i had my toy ships in the bath with me.
then id make waves nd it would sink like the titanic but with ni people on it.
yes matey bubble bath for me to.

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

Sunday night was bath night for me too. I always had 'Matey' bubble bath and had my head scrubbed with 'Vosene' shampoo. I didn't have dandruff to warrant the Vosene, my mother just liked the smell of it. Even now if I smell Matey or Vosene I'm transported back to our lemon yellow bath on a Sunday night. It's strange that I only remember having a bath on a Sunday but my mother insists I had one every night! Think it's because the Sunday night one meant school the next day!!

Re: Sunday night was bath night....

yes sunday night was bath night for me also.

always got my bath in time for last of the summer wine.
we still have the same plastic bath now that we had back then.
felt nice and warm but getting out you shivered like a leaf.
straight to the fire to warm up.
