OMG! I thought I was being really slow, it took me all of last week to remove woodchip wallpaper, fill holes and cracks, & replaster 2 walls, sunday I started chipping away at the old tiles (they are really old so tend to splinter off rather than come away all in one) now I've got 2 other walls to replaster as the tile removal made huge holes in the walls, I managed to do one last night and will do another tonight, I can then leave them until thursday to dry as I'm out for Dads birthday tomorrow night. I've friday off so will start the new tiling then.
Hoping it'll all be done by end feb!

We had an advantage when it came to removing woodchip in the form of her serene highness Tippy tail, she removed the border and huge chunks of the stuff (mind you she is the reason that all rooms being decorated are PAINTED!)

And this is after I imported this

from Florida.
