Looks like a metre high internal wall connecting to the pitch on the ceiling

sorry for the delay my router packed in. Anyway the wall i am talking about is a normal wall until about 900mm above the bath then it pitches in at about 45 degrees so i was wondering how i keep the grout line running the same all around the room, hope that makes it a bit clearer thanks

Easiest way is to use a self levelling laser.... positioned in the centre of the room - you can check your horizontal line all the way round on each row if you want.

Just my opinion, but for what it's worth .....I would suggest that you might want to consider it some more, as tiling this shape of room can easily have the effect of drawing the room in (so it appears much smaller) ....normally there's good ventilation with in this type of room with the velux type window - so normally not necessary to tile the coomb ....if you felt the humidity might still be an issue, you might want to consider Altro wall panelling (or similar) for the coob walls.....can look really good as a combination with tiling ....much easier and lighter on the coomb too ......like I say, that's just my opinion and it depends on your situation
