Decorating the Bathroom

Hellooo, well i've decided to give the bathroom a lick of paint- and on a strict budget. ...As in, not spending any money on it

So i spent all day yesterday removing waterproof () wallpaper from the walls with a steamer.
I have bought some cream coloured paint (i just want it fresher and neutral) and also some white tile paint/spray stuff.
What i need to do today is fill some holes in the walls, and remove some random wall plugs that are in there, gloss all the woodwork, and paint the tiles, and hopefully get the walls ready to start painting them.
I have a peach coloured bath and sink (not my choice i must say) and the tiles are also a peach colour so that's why i want to do them white.

My questions are.....

Is it easy to spray the tiles? If it goes onto the bath while i'm spraying will it wipe off?
Is normal emulsion alright for a bathroom? Obviously i know proper bathroom paint would be better- but i didn't think of that when i bought it
What sort of flooring is best? I'm not doing this bit yet- but i'd be looking for another cheap and easy solution, stick on tiles someone mentioned- i would have thought they'd not be suitable for a bathroom. And i won't be getting it properly tiled, it's an awkard shape and that would cost money, the floor space is pretty small just awkward shaped.
Also, today i need/hope to fill in walls /gloss woodwork /paint tiles /paint walls- which order is best? Glossing first or tiles?
