help with laminaTE

[gaztfa1]

Should I feel embarrased?
I have done plently of diy projects around the home, however in the past I have tried to avoid working with wood, This time though we have purchased some flooring through an unmissable sale that it was offered at and we havent the money to have it fitted by a proffesional. So even though the instructions are on the pack, can anyone basically start by telling me exactly what tools im gonna need and any tips to getting a good finished job. There are nearly 40 square metres, that is two rooms and the joining (bendy) corridor.

Any help is m,uch appreciated, thanks
