I'm still a bit chuffed that Scholastic substituted "Bathroom"

Don't forget cloakroom which apparently is a toilet on the ground floor or, as Americans would say, a half bath.
 
Also, I thought chuffed meant happy about something.  The way it's used here appears that it isn't a positive thing or am I just reading the rest of the sentence wrong?
