Now that spring is here i keep thinking about redecorating my bedroom. It needs new carpet as well, but the thought of trying to move furniture to lift the old carpet and strip walls is definately putting me off. How do you motivate yourself to get started on what to me seems a massive task.

One thing at a time, you cover up the furniture and get the decorating done.Then go and choose a new carpet, telling the carpet people that you want help with the furniture( not that expensive) then the day before the carpet comes, take out all bits and bobs and the furniture that you can lift, and leave the rest to them when they arrive the next day.?

Get a man or a woman in if you can afford it.

I have just had every floor changed in my house except the ceramic tiles and the two fitters moved everything but they knew in advance. I did not have to pay extra.

This is not very helpful I'm afraid, but I get someone in to decorate as I'd make an awful mess and would then have to pay to have it put right. hmm

Are there any of those exchange schemes near you in which someone will come and do jobs in return for something you can do for them i.e. baby/granny sitting, ironing?
