Yesterday I discovered, after nearly 4 years in our house, that the showerhead has a heavy massage option.

Last week I'd mentioned to my sweetie that I'd like to look at adding a new shower system to the long term list of Things To Buy. We're currently in scrimp and save mode after a month-long Europe trip in August. I went to a Rammstein concert in Poland and halfway through I realised I was at the end of my headbanging days - the incredible shower system in our hotel and a very firm mattress was the difference between walking out the next morning or what felt like would be the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

So I'd resolved to get a new shower system, wasn't going to have the money for a while, and then just made my discovery. So I'm feeling like a million bucks this morning, and saving a thousand or so too.

After about 7 years in our house, we realised our bathroom mirror has a heat switch to defog the mirror. We still have a couple of switches around the house that we don't know what they do.

I can barely jump on a trampoline these days without the impact giving me headaches 🥲

That's awesome! I'm not sure what a heavy massage shower head is, but it it costs $1,000 I guess I'm not going to find out 😆

I had my old car for four years before I realised that the random hole in the side of the glovebox was an aux plug for the stereo. I'd been putting up with shitty FM transmitters the whole time.

Congrats on the unexpected shower upgrade, especially BEFORE you dropped the dosh on a new one. We put one of those shower heads in a few months ago and it's amazing.
