looks good to me.

Cant really comment on setting out as cant see what limitations were either side but by the window i may have had a bigger cut into the corner perhaps.

Well done maytey.

It's hard to judge grout lines and flushness of the tiles from a photo, but it looks neat enough at first glance. I do see a small displacement in the horisontal grouting lines in the second pic, though that might just be a result from poor resolution in the picture. Other than that, only two things stand out a bit, but I wouldn't call the misstakes.

First, the pipes in the third pic look horrid, but that's hardly your fault. I'd cover them with something if I were your friend.

The second thing that jumps out and pokes me in the eyes, is the very small corner piece in the fourth picture from the left, but that's not necessarily an error... It depends on what the customer wants. A full piece closest to the window is preferable, but if the corner piece is smaller than 1/3 as a result of that, I'd have the customer chose wether or not to split the corner piece into two larger pieces.
If it's ok with the owner of the kitchen, then all is well I suppose.

Judging from the photos, I'd say you've earned atleast a passing grade for this, your first job

Thanks for the comments so far guys, i did ask my friend which he would prefer a small piece in the corner or split it and he wanted the small piece so fair play...and as for the pipes he his boxing them in.

Cheers
