    I think today has been a constructive day for those of you doing marking, does the fact it rained all day have anything to do with it?

    SATs is the hardest. What I'm doing is online and at least you can do it one-handed!

    I've been thinking about the shower room, I have planned

    shower
    shower cubicle and tray
    basin
    loo
    lighting
    cabinet/mirror
    tiles.

    What else needs to be planned?

    extractor
    paint
    loo roll holder
    light pull
    towel rail
    taps

    You haven't got taps on there either, and what about loo roll holder and towel rail
  • We had planned a heated towel rail, plumbed in since there is no heating in there, I forgot that. We do need a loo roll holder - at the moment there is a ceramic one holding a box of medicated tracing paper (unused I hasten to add!)

    What flooring are you having? Does that come under 'tiles'?
