New fangled devices.
It is true, I have spoilt my wife. Last christmas I bought her a lovely vacuum cleaner, you should have seen her face when she opened it. She was so surprised she went quiet and walked into the kitchen. I know it was a bit extravagant of me but who cares.Last week she came home excited about something she saw at a neighbours house. She said there was some sort of little room with a glass door installed in this womens bathroom. It appears there was a plastic box on the wall with two small controls. There is a thick electrical cable and a water pipe going into the box and another flexible pipe coming out to a water sprinkler screwed to the wall quite high up.
The idea is you take all your clothes off, open the glass door and stand under the water sprinkler. Then you turn one of the controls clockwise and warm water pours over you from the sprinkler above. Well I cannot see this idea catching on. It must use lots of electricity and what about all the water that runs down the drain at your feet. I don't go with these new fangled devices.
Tell me, what is wrong with our tin bath in front of the woodburner. It only takes barb about 20 minutes to heat the water and fill it with a saucepan. I always let her get in it first because it's only polite and I am dirtier than her. When we have both finished she bales it out fairly quickly with a small bucket and I always hang the bath back up in the shed outside on a long nail for her.
Women a suckers for new ideas !

I guess living in the wilds of Wales you haven't joined the 21st century yet.I am quite surprised you have the electricity to actually run a vacuum cleaner. Did your OH have to beat the rugs on the clothes line & sweep the floors & clean them with mop & bucket before this?

Re: New fangled devices.
It reminds me of the day The Electric Lawn Mower packed up .id mown the lawns for many years ,being a good wife i did those odd jobs that got left cause after all he went out to work ,I only looked after the children ,house,, garden,and did 3 cleaning jobs in the village .So he said he would look out for another Lawn Mower for me.
Weeks went by and the Lawn started to grow 
so i looked out the window forlornly and asked him to get me that mower .He dutifully went off ,and returned with a old fashioned. Push mower ,look here he says what i got you , its surprising what you can pick up at the tip now days..That mower lasted me a good few years ,before i thinks i dont need a lawn any more ,and up came the Lawn .And off went that push mower back to the tip .
