nice poll! i usually take a shower once a day no matter where in the world i am and i usually do it in the morning.

In the morning; the work-day schedule:
gbh on alarm, set to snooze, turn on immersion heater;
snooze for 30 mins;
breakfast;
nectar of the gods: COFFEE
make sarnies for work;
shower & wash hair, turn off immersion heater, exit boat (oh and get dressed somewhere along the way)

non work-days revolve around the coffee and the shower

every six months like clockwork, don't want to be obsessive or compulsive about this stuff, grime breeds character, gives you that lived in look, go through the car wash with the top down

Usually 1 in the morning, but in summer that may become dependant on how soon I'm in the pool or surf. Nothing cleans and exfoliates better than getting dumped a few times while bodysurfing.

Cheers,

Twice a day on a normal day...... three times (or more) if I am going out....Once in the morning, and then with each change of outfit, and then once before bed...

Often I want to hop back IN the shower as soon as I have hopped out.....It's Steamy all the time, and you get used to sweating.....

Depends on the weather. In winter, one or two per day. In summer, three or four per day.

Our government wants people to conserve water so they sent everyone a 4 minute egg timer to stick in the shower. I can often keep to that time. But I have to admit that to save water I also flush the toilet only once per day. (Maybe we should have a poll on how often we flush).

The government aim is to keep usage to under 155 litres per day per person. My water supplier actually congratulated me on using only 94 litres per day.

I was brought up in fairly poor circumstances. Water for the bath had to be heated by burning wood and we could only afford enough wood to heat one bathful of water for the whole family, once per week. First in was my father, then my mother, then my sister, then finally me. By the time I got in the bath the water was cold and dirty. So - now that I'm all grown up and live alone, I really treasure the luxury of a clean, hot shower whenever I want it.

I'm a morning shower person. On a typical day I stick to one shower, but if I've spent much time outside, especially on a hot humid day, I like a cool mid-afternoon rinse. It just makes the rest of the day more pleasant.

I meant mine doesnʻt. I totally read your post wrong. Itʻs the weekend. I donʻt have to think!

Weekends are definitely not for thinking!

Oddly enough,. my hair does look a little like the avatar, just a bit longer. I usually wear it tied back now though

Deal! I inherited my Dad's hair - lots (and lots) of thick hair. It has a slight wave to it, and looks best either very short (as in under an inch ), or long enough to tie back. I took to dying my hair at school because there was no way it was going to get into any style I wanted!

For a change, warm lentil salad went across my desk, not tea...

thanks for posting that, since i had just read "gbh" (in "the three pigs detective agency" in fact) and had no idea what it meant, and you reminded me to look it up. it will be very useful to know this expression, since my own alarm experiences that treatment every morning as well. :rolleye:

Hmm, I wash it in the morning, never dry it (just wrap a towel around it), have breakfast, some tea and some newspaper reading. After about 15 minutes, I remove the towel, brush it and by the time I'm at work, it's dry.

I wish I had nice thick hair...
