****e? Tile paint any better? Does it have to be specifically tile paint or
are there alternatives? Just trying to think of something to brighten up all
the boring white tiles in't kitchen.

Tile paint is very good, my daughter painted some tiles in her bathroom 4 +
years ago & it hasn't flaked or peeled.

Only prob with tile paint is that it covers the grouting up so it looks
slightly less lile tiles.

Thanks. I was considering painting single tiles here and there rather than
the whole lot, perhaps masking off each tile so that none got on the
grouting...

International brand tile paint.

Hmmm... having just had a quick click through that again I see that we've
decorated at least twice in all the rooms since then! I can't get onto Lycos
now to change anything either. Still...

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
