Glad to be of help Syd.
Right, I've emulsioned the ceiling, the walls will be done tomorrow and Sunday, so I'm hoping to get some track down on Monday. Fingers crossed.

The missus has helpfully bought some new curtain rail to put up, (not flat bottomed

), but that's only a ten minute job at the most, so that shouldn't eat into Monday's planned start too much. It was definitely a mistake taking her to B&Q.
