The problem with poo.

We don't have a poo tank. Yet. We will have. But just not yet.

Our current harbour living, means that if one needs to poo, one must high tail it to the nearby amenties. Now that is all very well if one is a 'grown up', and can hold on. Unfortunately, this isn't often the case when you're 3. (or 4, or even from time to time, 40).

Wee is fine in the boat toilet, poo is not. There are currently only a couple of people living aboard boats here, so if a poo floats by, it's really not much of a secret whose it is.

Now, we've told the kids, NOT to poo in the toilet.

Under NO circumstances, are they to poo in the toilet.
To poo, is taboo.

Roo gets this.

Unfortunately, (but not surprisingly), a certain young lady doesn't. Or doesn't want to get it more to the point.

She knows that it's taboo, so doesn't actually tell me when she has. This means, that when I go to the toilet, way too often, I discover an illicit poo.

At this point, I am faced with 2 choices: 1. pretend I haven't noticed it, and wait for Xave to discover it 'first'. or 2. Deal with it.
Dealing with it means, picking it up, popping it in a bag, and taking it to a public loo to dispose of. GROSS. I know this, because this is what I generally end up doing.

I think a bit of subliminal learning is in order here, so tonight, when she's asleep, I think I'm going to whisper, ever so quietly and insistently : to poo, is taboo. to poo, is taboo. to poo, is taboo.....

Overboard Tally.

1. Dizzy (smartly retrieved in manner of scruff of the neck haulage)
2. Cup (deliberately flung overboard by Miss Cooks).

I will continue to tally the overboard happenings throughout our trip.

I am looking however for a widget which is updatable to keep on my homepage, but can't seem to find / create one.
Anyone out there far more clever than I?
