Bubble Bathtime Banter

Today has been one of those days where the last thing you want to do before going to bed is have a lovely, long, relaxing bubble-bath. So, having eaten dinner, watched the new series of Atlantis (which is AMAZING, everyone should watch it), had a cup of tea and eaten my favourite dessert, I went upstairs to run myself a bath. I put in a new 'smelly', one of my sister's as I couldn't find my peppermint one, and went to get my hair dye.

I spent a good 10 minutes at the mirror applying my new colour, making sure it was spread evenly through my hair, I turned round just  in time to catch my shower hose spraying water all over the bathroom. Bit of back ground here; my taps don't work, haven't for ages, so we run baths with the shower. Most of the time it behaves itself and will stay in the bath without problems, but today it took the opportunity to catch me at precisely the worst moment possible---hair dye all over my face and gloves, I rushed over to grab the hose, my hands being slippy from the applying of said hair dye, it took a few seconds to grab firmly onto the shower hose. Hair dye now all over the bath and shower, I put the hose between my knees to keep it steady whilst i took my gloves off. I then thought it a great idea to reach over for my towel...on the other side of the room. So clearly water goes everywhere AGAIN, I fall over naked as a baby, trying to point the hose in the direction of the bathtub whilst mopping up hair dye and water around me in the process. 

Eventually, I made it to the, now full, bath, sliding down into the beautiful heat around me, I stumble across another dilemma; I cant lean against the back of the bath otherwise I would get hair dye all over it. Crumbs. So another great idea pops into my head....I am going to shave my legs to keep myself entertained (you must think me one hell of a boring person if entertainment comes from shaving ones legs. It has been a long day my friends). I prop one leg on the side of the bath, add shower gel, lather up my legs....and start to slide down into the soapy suds. Oh for goodness sake, can I NOT catch a break tonight?! Having finally managed to shave my legs (sort of successfully) and still not get my hair under the water---a big achievement I must say, I checked my phone to see I had left my hair dye on a little longer than planned, so I go about washing it out and it is a little darker than expected, but that's fine. 

I jump out of the shower, wash down the sides of the bath and clean up the rest of the hair dye (mum and dad if you are reading this, it didn't look like a crime scene in the bathroom, I promise...) I jump into my pjs and settle down with a nice cup of tea...to find I smell like a BLOODY CUSTARD CREAM!?!?! Humph. Another day, another first world problem. Tomorrow, I will chose a shower.
