    Splitting a double room into two, can this work?

    You could do that but access to the room nearest the window would be through the other bedroom. May not be a problem for you but could be if you decide to sell

    Screwing into party wall

    On the stud wall you could cut a small ish hole behind where TV would be sited and feel for joists. Ideally you'd want a noggin of wood between the joists to mount the TV on. Cut the plasterboard, mount wood then refit the cutout bit of board. It'll be hidden by TV anyway. On the thermalite...

    Shower Pan with Cement Fibre Board

    I've built many raised plinths in bathrooms to sit trays on. Never had an issue. Just make your plinth strong and allow for future access of pipework.

    Quality of plastering workmanship advice?

    Wow, that's shockingly bad. Where did you find the plasterer? If he hasn't replied after 3 days I'd assume he won't at all. Truly a terrible job.

    £300 fixed penalty for cycling at night without lights.

It's expensive to fix a relatively inexpensive problem but when those type of taps are fitted with no thought to future access then that's the only options. Back of bath...

    Latest Price Rises and Other Shopping Shenanigans

    It is getting pretty obvious that's if they have it on the shelves. Toilet roll is now smaller rolls. Baby wipes have less in a pack, I know cos I had an old pack left in my decorating kit, and they are a few pence more. So less product, more cost, it's a double whammy
