Took my 2 new tyres home last night but by the time i got home it was about 9pm, very cold and dark. So I ended up putting a dust sheet down in the front room and working on the bike there. Surprisingly easy when you have lots of light and are warm.
Turns out the old tyres and inner tubes were all mismatched so I ended up putting on new tyres and inner tubes. This meant I got to test out the new pump I bought which worked a treat and gets my thumbs up. It was a "Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HPG". It is small enough to attach to the bike frame in transit but is designed as a floor pump which means you can push against the floor whilst pumping giving you more oomf. Another couple of nice features are the pressure gauge and the cap screws on to the valve so you can get a tight seal.
I've picked up another couple of inner tubes to replace the ones I used last night and I think I'll take the bike for a quick spin tonight to make sure all is well.
Bike grease under the fingernails is starting to become a regular look for me :)
