    If the weathers nice I'll take it outside to get some sun on me head.

    I'm back to the house where I've been all week. it's been 2 bathrooms in Porcelanosa Borneo with glass mosaic borders and wood effect floor tiles, Master Ensuite with walls and floor all in Porcelanosa Sahara and the corridor in Fired Earth 200x200 chiselled edge light walnut Tuscan trav, on a 45, down an 11m corridor with 6 doorways and a staircase to cut around(I am delighted to say I've been in this weekend and tiled that corridor)
    So tomorrow I've got to grout the corridor and tile the kitchen in Fired Earth Moustier Earth 100x100 with Freshwater Pearl brick effect glass mosaic border

    Then off to start a full bathroom of Topps Murano 600x300

    Just finnished a small job doing some tiling in a disabled wetroom. Have got a 9msq kitchen floor to tile and then 4sqm of splashback in the same kitchen. Will be doing some work in my own place when not working the rest of the week.

    It's only taking about 50 mins each way, pretty much all motorway - it can take me longer than that if I'm working on the opposite side of Brum!

    had a bleeding nightmare this morning went to finish tiling a shower enclosure, I 'd tiled the main of it yesterday and left what I thought was the straight flat easy bit for today. Wrong! the tiles were so uncallibrated annd warped it took me 3 hours to do a straightforward 2 m2, (turkish bumpies)

    No tiling for me this week. Got an ensuite to finish fitting out Tuesday then possibly pull forward another job to rip out Thursday/Friday. Got my steel work being delivered this week for home project so need to get that sorted too
