Errm, why bother to plaster? *
It's already plastered ;-o
If you want cheap, go traditional: If
necessary level the wall with a skim of mortar. *Soak the tiles overnight.
Butter the tiles with cement based mortar made with sieved sand then
set them on the wall.
I remember that technique from a 1950's house.
There's also the option to use thistle plaster, discussed here
recently. I wouldnt try and cut corners in a bathroom though, its the
one area where a good result is necessary.
