Cheers, the other half spotted the flooring in B&Q, couldnt really stretch the budget for tiles. Was a bit of a badger getting it down and lining the grout lines up, whole rows kept going out of line when whacking some of them in

Really good work there, must of saved a packet rather than getting someone else in? Are you a complete novice or trained in an area of trade?

Cheers, yeah sockets are higher at one side unfortunatelly. Didnt help with floor being so far out (had it levelled since).

Novice to be honest, done other bits and bobs before its honestly not as hard as you would think.
