I've started to use a pee bottle rather then getting up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. At what age do you think this is acceptable? I have a demanding job and don't want to waste energy going to the loo in the middle of the night and a pee bottle is so more convenient. I'm not sure if i'm just being idle or very efficient?

Just how much energy is required to walk to your toilet ?

Do you have a huge dwelling ?

Was this post written during one of your pee breaks?

Dare we ask the nature of your work?

The house I was born in didn't have an inside bathroom at all. A small hours pee required donning
a dressing gown and slippers, schlepping downstairs, though the kitchen and out to the privy
at the end of the path. It involved taking a candle to see by, battling the spiders and hoping
it wasn't raining, or worse, snowing.

Inclement conditions made it acceptable to use a china gazunder but it remained unused
for most of the year.

And no, I wasn't in prison.

Your job is that demanding and tiring that you need to conserve your energy but not going to toilet in the night?

Thought about drinking less water?

Just buy a plastic undersheet and worry about it all in the morning.

Well I think it's great that someone born 120 years ago has kept up with technology and is using the internet.

I have kept a potty next to my bed for years. Since around the same time I started to fold the back seats down in my 1.6D Corsa to save weight. Bonus is my poodle is often thirsty in the night, meaning I rarely have to empty it.

What age are you ? - I'm guessing 90-95 ?

Go get a prostate check. You shouldn't need to frequently urinate in the night.

My grandparents had their first inside bathroom installed about 30 years ago. I'm only 40 and remember as a child using the outside facilities and a tin bath in front of the fire in the living room.

Reminds me of:



Mrs. Pants: But what about the privies?

Blackadder: Um, well, what we are talking about in privy terms is the latest in front wall fresh air orifices combined with a wide capacity gutter installation below.

Mrs. Pants: You mean you crap out the window?

Blackadder: Yes.

Mrs. Pants: Well in that case we'll definitely take it. I can't stand those dirty indoor things.

I worked in a house in London last year that had a toilet at the bottom of the garden and no bathroom. The only water in the house was a cold tap on an old butler sink in the kitchen.
