    Lee good luck with the course and the new life as a tiler, all the lads and lasses on here will always be up for offering you advice on all aspects of tiling.
    I'll go first get yourself some good quality trousers with built in knee pads.

    Good luck to you.........

    Personally I would have kept the job for time being and used your tile training for weekend and family and friends to get your name about IMO

    Would love have but I was made redundant, its worked out quite well as i had 4 months of knowing i was being shown the door so started doing tiling at the weekend and evenings for friends.
