Listen intently at your bedroom door to try and ensure there is no-one waiting outside (be very careful here, they may be deliberately keeping quiet to fool you into a false sense of security). When you think the coast is clear open the door as quietly as you can and, if there's no-one outside waiting to test your over developed startle response, make a dash for it. If you hear a voice calling you, or footsteps coming upstairs at this point, put a sprint on and leg it as fast as you can into the bathroom using selective deafness to pretend you haven't heard anything.
Fish toys and bottles out of the bath. Whip clothes off quicker than you would if Marco Pierre White were with you, step into bath and turn shower on. If you hear any knocks at the door or any shouts at the keyhole turn up the shower and sing loudly. Make mental note to remind them yet again that they only need to get hold of you whilst you're in the bathroom if the house is falling down.
Grab any bottle that's been left lying around that isn't empty and shower using the contents regardless of what they are. Rinse yourself off. Put a towel round you, pick up your clothes and prepare yourself to dash back to your bedroom.
Use the other five minutes to get dressed.

It's easier when you have an en-suite shower. However, the children make a mess in the main bathroom and I don't go in there as often so don't see it. And, this morning i was in my shower and about to wash my hair when I realised that one of the children had taken my shampoo to their bathroom!! arrgghhh Nice things come in small packages...but so does poison! | ||

Having a bath/shower in shared accommodation is similar especially when the toilet is in the bathroom 
One young woman got me out of the bath regularly. Fortunately I was only sharing for 6 months Happiness is a warm bum | ||

oh yes. I'd forgotten the delights of living in a bedsit and sharing a bathroom and loo with six other people 'I'm somewhat contemptuously convinced that sentimentality is the refuge of those without genuine emotions' Nigella Lawson Edited 14 Jul 11, 6:41 PM by Betony |
