Am I mis-remembering things, or did one of the new Who doctors jettison the Zero Room (along with some other things maybe?) to get some extra welly for the TARDIS to do something at some point? I've searched through transcripts but can't find it anywhere. I thought it might be Eleven.

ETA: It was the swimming pool, not the Zero Room. From The Doctor's Wife:
--------
RORY: Oh, what is happening?
DOCTOR: We're leaving the universe.
AMY: How can you leave the universe?
DOCTOR: With enormous difficulty. Right now I'm burning up Tardis rooms to give us some welly. Goodbye, swimming pool. Goodbye, scullery. Sayonara, squash court seven.
(Whoosh, thump, crash, then all is still and silent.)
AMY: Okay, okay. Where are we?
DOCTOR: Outside the universe, where we've never, ever been.

This is really familiar to me, too, but I haven't found it yet.

ETA: I'm probably thinking of Castrovalva, where the Zero Room is ejected to escape from the Big Bang.

I feel like it was something in New Who though. Because I remember it being kind of jarring. Does the Doctor get rid of the swimming pool at some point? What the heck am I thinking of?

ETA: found it. The Doctor's Wife. it was the swimming pool, not the Zero room:
