To admit things got really out of control

[amberhills]

Not just over Christmas (understandable?) but all of 2015 really. I was living knee deep in shit.

I'm so proud and I think I've sorted most of it

What I'm most ashamed of is a lingering smell of animal waste, I ordered something meant to remove it but it hasn't worked - any tips? :(

Vinyl tiles are easy to put down, you just need a Stanley knife and a few blades and something straight to cut along, I had a steel ruler...just needs to be something that won't cut. It took me 3 hours to do a 5' x 5' bathroom. They recommend you put wood down first though, which we already had...otherwise you get nails from floorboards coming through

in a word... bicarbonate of soda (well, that's 3 words, but heck it really works!)
