So easy and relaxing compared to floor tiles...

OK - I have flat walls. But just to sit there, on a stool, with a coffee,
a tub of BAL Greenstar, a box of tiles and a bag of spacers.

Splat, stick, stick, stick, splat, stick stick etc...

Time to stop - lid on adhesive and a quick wash off of the glue spreader,
wipe the tiles and done.

I wish all jobs got such a great result from so little effort.

I just finished tiling in the kitchen last night; uneven walls, large
tiles (that wont't fit the manual cutter, so must use the electric one
outside, hence limiting the hour), numerous tiles with sockets or switched
spurs in and one tile with a socket and a fused spur in it 20mm apart,
only one spare tile without buying another box.

You have my sympathies... That's why I'm sticking to small tiles for
walls...

All with three young
children disrupting things and up against a deadline as guests arrive
tomorrow night for a party - not relaxing at all!

I have two sprogs, by I do have a sprog electromagnet (aka TV) installed in
the next room.

The TV helps, but two of the three kids are of an age where they regularly
need supplying with food and drink, one of them needs escorting to the
toilet and the other needs nappy changes and feeding - usually at the most
inopportune moments! Normally my wife could deal with them, keeping them
out of my way, but she's spent the last two days in bed feeling somewhat
ill.
