It had an over-sized whirlpool tub, separate shower, a wall of glass bricks and in a real moment of indulgence, we added a stained glass window. It was fitting because the room really was a religious experience!<br /><br />I still miss that biffy.

Now all I have to do is remember to keep at it!<br /><br />Our current bathroom is fairly large and has two sinks in it, Anita, but the one we had before was about half that size, so I can certainly feel your pain. It was VERY small, and no way could two people fit in there at once unless one of them was in the bathtub. <br /><br />That's part of my problem too, Noelle. No time!<br /><br />It can be done Shana, but it's a bit uncomfortable at times! At least we don't have to run outside to the portable toilet, which was what we had to use during the remodeling project. That was no fun at all!Cheryl Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11464377381132807409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-28260650337550866922011-03-20T12:29:30.062-04:002011-03-20T12:29:30.062-04:00One bathroom?

I did take a bath in the big tub, but it completely emptied the hot water heater and no one else could take a shower for a while!<br /><br />@Joanne. I love my soaps. Once you've used the expensive ones, you'll never want to go back!<br /><br />@Mary G. Yeah, the time is the main thing.

What is it you ask - Mashed banana. DO NOT try if allergic to them.<br />I have one most days for breakfast<br />and when I want to do my face I save about 1/2-1 inch which can even be the bruised bit. Mash until smooth and creamy add a few drops of lemon if likely to have any left over to preserve the colour and it will keep in the fridge for a week or so.<br />Apply liberally to face. leave for 15-20 minutes then rinse with warm water then splash with cold. Avoid getting in your hair as it will dry hard. <br />I have done the face mask then got in our cross trainer for a short session then washed off. I have also done before running a bath and washing my hair - gets rid of any banana you miss.<br />If you have bananas at home anyway the extra cost to you is Zero.<br />I do love a good deal.Margaret Snoreply@blogger.com
