Bath Deprivation

Today, I realise how much I am actually looking forward to moving out.

After months and months and months of a half finished bathroom, my Mum has made my stepdad finish tiling the floor. This means that every now and again, whenever he feels like doing it, our bathroom is an out-of-bounds area.

Yesterday was one of these such days, I had to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink in the morning and went out, spending the entire day walking around in Leicester - I wanted nothing more than to lie in the bath when I got home and relax. But no, for some reason the bath had discard bits of tiles, dirt and a washing basket in it. This was how the coversation went;

Me: Mum, I really want a bath tonight. I feel all dirty and sweaty from walking around all day.

Mum: Well... Can you have a bath tomorrow?

Me: Chase is coming round tomorrow, I want a bath before I see him.

Mum: It'll be ready in the morning, have one then.

So, come morning, I wake up at 9am to the noises of my step dad tiling the bathroom some more. There was a breakdown in communication or plotting against me, but either way - I am not allowed a bath this morning.

So I wait.

Until 1pm, when I figure Chase should be here in a few hours - that gives me time to have a bath, dry my hair, get dressed and do my make-up before he gets here.

Me: Mum, can I have a bath now?

Mum: [Pulls face]... No.

Me:.... why?

Mum: Because Daves grouting the tiles.

Me:.... But you said I could have one this morning.

Mum: Just wait about 3 hours or something

I feel disgusting and dirty and greasy. Chase didn't come round my house yesterday and that really upset me and annoyed me, but now I'm kinda hoping he doesn't come today because I feel icky. [This is of course a lie, if he didn't come I'd be just as pissed - but it's the only silver lining that I've got because chances are he's gonna be another no-show today]

But yknow, Mum's happy because she's getting the bathroom done, My stepdads happy because my Mums happy and my brothers happy because he's a boy and barely showers anyway.

It's only me that cares I havent had a bath in two days.

Dammit!
