daz, on your photobucket site when the photos come up, if you hover over the picture there pops up a little box with the image codes in it...
if you click the one at the bottom that has IMG in it, it copies it direct to your clipboard. You literally just past this into your post and the picture becomes available to the forum server. Its not loaded onto the forum server, but it knows where to look so it can display it on here...
tips...
scrape off anything that isnt plaster...
remove the bog and sink and fit isolating valves (or isolating flexible tap connectors 15mm - 1/2")
remove the scabby old window board
bead the window 4 sides (the bottom bead gives you a nice flat level surface for your tiles)
2 good coats of pva and skim it
refit bog and sink

Yep I am with chris on this one...
I have done rake loads of bathrooms
everything out and and scraped.... I also found that wickes bonding agent is better.
If the walls are really shite once scraped back knock up some bonding nice and wet and put a tight coat over the walls then skim....
