    Looks like it has stopped now. Client wanted a bathroom tiled in Somerset but other trades havent got it ready for us.
    I was hoping to get another days work in but seems they havent accepted the price quoted.

    I'm working the full 5 days this week,
    I was on tonight until 7 and hard push on in a full house.
    If I don't finish by Friday then I'll go back in the new year.
    I'm off until the 2nd January then flat out for the next few months luckily.
    Roll on Saturday.

    Finished at 9.00 tonight, sealing travertine ready for tomorrow morning. A couple of square metres of slate to grout, two custom made vanity units with elm worktops, two sinks, a wall hung W/C, two showers, two mirrors, one wall light ( I think that's all) for Thursday. At least all the prep is done.
    Christmas shopping for the wife on Friday. Probably working in Edinburgh next week, at least I'll get home at night!
