    onestep try my dot2dot(TM) method: you do one small area first and then keep that tidy whilst you add another one on thereby joining the dots ;) Eventually all the dots join up and the room is done. You may not get it all done in the same day but once you have sorted one area the aim is to keep it sorted. Sometimes the whole thing is overwhelming but small bits are not so bad. HTH

    Now I really must go and get packed lunches done.
