    its the bent over toes that get me mate, when on a big floor they hurt like chuff on a night.

    but then again so do my knees, elbow, back, neck and hands!

    tiling is a lot easier on the body than plastering, altho' I've had a few knee ops now, I've not had one for about 7 years, since I totally kicked plastering into touchbut no other real aches and pains to report

    my feet hurt sometimes but only when using steelys as it feels like they are cutting my toes off

    i get lots of pain in my knees and back but i would put that down to being too fat not all tiling

    like my cider too much

    did a kitchen splashback last week, put my cheapo crocs on, (not much chance of injury, as they were only mosaics)
