Two nice things have happened to me this week. Firstly, I finally managed to find a tiler to do our bathroom! This, as you will have read in my earlier post, is a major achievement and I am very excited that the work is pencilled in to start in 2 weeks’ time! I was very impressed when the guy turned up with a portfolio of his previous jobs and was more impressed when he came in reasonably cheap! So next weekend I have the task of prising the old tiles off the wall which hopefully won’t uncover too many horrors (bad plasterwork, uneven walls etc)! The 2nd nice thing to happen is my discovery that Laura Ashley’s new Spring/Summer range includes a set of red gingham curtains! Hooray! I have searched high and low for years to find these, and even blogged about them earlier this year, so was delighted to finally find them in the shops ready made. They’re not exactly cheap (available in 2 sizes from £50) but just irrestistible! They say that good things come in threes, so I am eagerly anticipating my next bit of good news!
Good luck with the tiling! Will you give us an update when the work is complete? I’d just be interested to know if the installer wants to charge you any extras after they start the project. Hopefully you found an honest and qualified contractor! Good Luck.
