Hi, yep a nightmare alright, but do-able.
I guess you mean the glue free stuff. often you can't lay it as it says!
It is much easier to lay if you have the right tools. You just need a wooden block and a hammer (don't need the kits they sell).
Normally you start to lay the flooring from far left to right corner of the room. Putting your first row down should be easy as the ends just slot together.
Your second row is the tricky bit. Lay a new row not connected to the first. This will stretch the full length of the room. You need two people to do this (it can be done with 1 but expect to loose your rag a few times!!!). Once row complete lift the lip of second row into the groove of first row, all along the row. Lift the whole row (should all lift together) at an angle (2 people) and let the whole row slot in to the first row. Slowly lower the row down whilst pushing in all the time (all along the row).
Hard to explain method. Hope it helps. It gets easier after a few rows!
Sounds mad but it works.
You will need to hammer the boards together using the wooden block in between hammer and floor.
I'm sure you'll figure it out!! Good luck.
