I have since been back to college to do my C & G plumbing, I have done a plastering course, bricklaying and kitchen fitting.

I am now booked in to do my Part P electrics next month and I am doing my NVQ in tile fixing.

My foot is flat to the floor mate, no joke. You will not look back
I admire you mate - have always wondered whether to continue specialising in tiling or diversify as you have done. As I have a young child & work long hours I worry about the extra time needed to study. My hours already put a strain on the relationship, I need to work to pay the mortgage as my wife only works part time. Think the extra hours at college may be too much. Would never see my wife and son.
Hey ho, maybe for the future. As it stands at the mo I am busy enough with tiling.
Anyway good luck ( sounds like you don't need it )
