Well an update, I did give this a go but it didnt go well! started laying the first tile, all fine, then couldn't find the next tile! was so ****ed took it up scraped up the adhesive and left it there! might have another go but getting to the point of just getting a tiler in!

Did you not number and photo the dry run so you knew what you were doing?

Yeah I actually did, but the tile just disappeared! Not sure if the Mrs moved it or something. Tried again yesterday and got most of them down, looks good but some are not exactly level to each other. I didn't have levelling clips, perhaps I should have used those!

Thanks both, did the best I could with rapid set adhesive and grout had to try and work quick for my first time!

Thanks for all your help aswell, wouldn't have been able to do it without some great advice!
