Time's Ran Out
Dave - despite all the preparation the final fixing of the tiles and subsequent grouting is what this job is all about.
As you have shown a warts an all account of the 'Bathroom project' you are to be commended for asking all the questions and using the information to put together an excellent thread.
However to offer what I hope can be taken as constructive advice - I think that the fixing of the mosaic in the tray could have been straighter and the first full tile on the second row of wall tiles from the tray is showing a lippage shadow that should be altered. As I'd previously posted my concern at the broken bond pattern you have chosen, this design pattern can be difficult to complete if the tiles are bowed.

taken as so John 
Mosaics in the actual flesh look great.. i think my pony photo taking skills accentuate it a bit more than it really is. As for the lipped tile, indeed there is. That wall was VERY bad and I had a hard time getting it ironing board straight However again in the flesh its ok for me. Im not a pro and know that, and appreciate the constructive criticism mate. This is my first ever bathroom.. hopefully 2nd one will be better

looking good dave, you could have made life a bit easier for yourself by putting service valves on the pipes, no need to switch the water off then when your fitting the basin etc. and less mess
