A day on the tiles....

Now the management is still locked in conflict with her diploma in computing or EC Bloody L as she now calls it. She is doing data bases, or rather they are doing her head in.

So anyway it was left to me to go, bright and early this morning and sort out a whole load of radiators, bath cylinder and so on for the house next door. Of course the young lady who works there loves to come round periodically with her husband and check what we have brought back from France on our latest foray.

This means that I get rather good prices on the sorts of goods

Today though this was all against a backdrop of swearing as the student really struggled with her DIC.

Eventually she had to throw in the towel or throw the computer across the room so she did the former.

Actually the later might have been cheaper as she decided we needed to go and get tiles.

In the end it proved less expensive than it might have done to buy  3 packs of great big tiles for the bathroom and 11 packs of smaller ones for the walls with some big tubs of grout to complete the order.

Now I must tell you I could not have loaded that lot on to the trolley without her helpful encouragement.

Driving the 806 with that lot piled against the tail gate was quite an amusing experience in an "oh my god we're all going to die" way. It's probably the most effective anti handling kits I've come across.

Soon we came home and again we had the able encouragement of the student who went and made tea, we unloaded the vast number of tiles and grout from the car.

She has been on the ECDL since tea time,  she can take no more, she has switched to I Player and a glass of  very good white.
