DH and I are (finally!) getting our bathroom done next week. The work will involve ripping everything out and starting from scratch with plastering, tiling, replacing the suite etc. As it is the only bathroom/toilet we have, it means we will be without a working bathroom/loo for the entirety of the work; basically, a total of 6 days.
We had agreed to book into a hotel whilst the work was being done but I suddenly had an inspired idea of how to save money and, ever the bargain hunter, tonight unveiled this to DH. I figured, hey, think of the savings we could make and, really, how bad could it be? It's just for a week. If it's not that great, I could beg the use of neighbours' loos during the day and just use the box at night (and before you say, well, we would expect a child to be well trained to go all night without using the loo, my pelvic floor ain't what it used to be after having DS, so sue me!); then again, I don't much fancy traipsing next door if I have to do anything that involves solids!
DH (who incidentally goes to the gym everyday followed by work, both locations having wonderful shower/loo access) decided to rain on my parade by going into exquisite detail about how in the world I would be able to dispose of the massive quantities of urine a normal human female pees out each day. I suggested a generous helping of tissue going into the bag before relieving myself, but he thought, short of an entire roll, it would not be anywhere near enough to soak up the pee and prevent spillages during disposal. I suggested a generous helping of Plenty (previously known as Bounty) kitchen roll, but he still thinks that won't be enough. Exasperated, I told him that we should just book the hotel instead and he now thinks that I'M being unreasonable!
So, am I?
