A Poo In Sainsburys



 I'm in Sainsburys 
Feeling a bit shell-shocked. 
I set the alarm for 8.15 and slept the deep jet lagged sleep of the night nurse until there was a merry bang on the door just before 8am. 
Cheerful Bathroom man (CBM) was ripping the bath out minutes later.
I gathered the girls up and took them to Trendy Carol's. Booked a skip then made CBM a coffee before I realised I needed to "go" 
My routine is often down to the minute! 
That's what I like
A nice long "sit" and a read of the news.
Bliss.
Anyhow the bathroom already looked like Coventry during the Blitz so
I came to sainsburys for an anonymous poo.

I've only just "come round" and that was after a rather robust cooked breakfast and two large Americanos.
My head is still on nights.

  2. Why did you set the alarm for 8.15 am? Mistake? And hadn't you already ordered the skip? I thought you were all organised.

    1. I thought he'd arrive at 9 ( wrong) I wanted to book skip when he turned up ( I've had workmen than dont)
      Apart from that I'm very well organised

  3. thats a rough start to the day! Two large Americanos were appropriate :)

  4. Which aisle did you choose at Sainsbury?

    1. Your question deserves several upvotes, Tom. My guess? The aisle where they stock dog food. Both the food and the poo somewhat complementing each other. In mitigation, I am sure that John has a pooper scooper on him at all times. Some kind soul passing will have handed him a bag. As to lingering smell? Well, that's harder to clear up in an enclosed environment. But then, John does like to waft.

    2. Personally I would sooner hear nothing about his bowel movements and prefer he kept it to himself.

    3. Yes, Rachel. A sexy, physically appealing image indeed. It should rake in potential suitors. Still, John only recently prided himself on letting it all hang out (literally, in this particular case) so what's a bit of bowel movement on the internet? What perturbed me more than anything why anyone would go for a "long sit" reading the news. Not for the first time, and John has never corrected me, I note that he is definitely stuck in the anal phase. Maybe his mum was making him sit on his potty with a picture book to while away the time whilst she was waiting for a result. I suppose it saved on washing nappies.

    10. Yesyesyes to reading on the loo. I draw the line at eating in said establishment (former flatmate did not and would leave plates) so I’m glad John specified.

    11. Thank you ladies
      I rest my case

    12. I understand about reading on the toilet, that was not my point. If you go quickly, as you indicated you were in a hurry in the text, I have no idea why you would want to sit reading least of all on a public toilet in Sainsbury.

      Has he no dignity? His followers seem to encourage him. I am worried about the motives behind this, but some people will do anything to garner comments. (An elderly woman from the Home Counties).

    17. Now I know why I barred any anonymous from making comments right at the outset. To be honest, my iPhone will not let me make any comments under my name of Tom under the new regime, but it will let me make ones anonymously, which dear John has not blocked for whatever reason. I am the elderly woman from the Home Counties. (Cackling laughter...)

  5. A poo in Sainsbury’s, my idea of hell (a poo in any public facility). The only place you probably can’t order an Americano is in America[no].

  7. I hate getting caught short in need of a poop... sometimes needs must and the local BP service station is all there is... my tip.... always carry a box of matches... does wonders to dispel any unfortunate smells that might make you blush.

    I am interested in reading about your bathroom, but not so keen on reading about your bathroom habits!

  10. John. Only you could make going to the lav so hilarious. I count living alone as perhaps the only benefit and that is to sit on the toilet and if I feel like it do the Times crossword.

  11. The first day of the remodel should be the worst - soon nice new - your style. We all poo, may he/she who never does cast the first stone - we'll wait. Can't wait to see the after photos, of the bathroom that is.

  12. Am not bothered by John's description at all. Nurses are quite familiar with the 'outcomes' of the digestive tract (google the Bristol Scale - we used to have to describe each 'motion'. 'Fluffy' was a good one. Reminded me of clouds...). As a community nurse I had a patient with MS, who always requested my help once a week, to perform a manual evacuation with the patient suspended above a bed pan on a hoist. It was normal practice back then, but would be frowned upon now. My fingers were stronger than those of the female nurses, hence I was the nurse requested. I always wore two pairs of gloves. The bowel care didn't bother me - it was the thought of a glove splitting and faecal fingernails. Far more off-putting than John's mild description of needing a comfort break in Ruthin Sainsburys. The wine aisle there isn't too bad, if you're passing through.

    3. I think nurses have a cross between schoolboy and very dark humour

  13. When you gotta go, you gotta go! We all have to poo, even the Queen, so I can't see why some are getting squeamish about it. I hope it won't be too long before you can go on your own shiny new loo! xx

  14. Day 1 of the bathroom project: and being awakened by CBM instead of the alarm started the day with a bang. The Sainsbury loo, coffee, and a good breakfast must have made everything better.

    1. I’ will be having breakfast and lunch out every day the workers are here. The cottage is too small to stay in

  15. Oh, that night shift. You feel half awake while everyone is wide awake...and you're wide awake when everyone else is sleeping soundly!

    Hope your bathroom is completed soon. If your charming bathroom man reads blogs, I'm quite sure that he will wait to install the toilet last, lest he see you coming down the hall with a newspaper.
