What's this all about?
Buy March's edition of 'Your Home' magazine for £1.99 and on page 69 you'll see a voucher to get a 2.5 litres can of paint (that usually retails at £10.99) from DIY store Focus absolutely free. The mag, published by Essential Publishing, should be widely available in most newsagents and supermarkets.
How to get the free paint
Find your closest Focus store (or call 0800 436 436) that stocks Focus 'Matt' or 'Silk' emulsion (the offer's only for these types of paint and not all stores sell the own-brand range) and then pay it a visit, along with the voucher (you don't need to fill anything in) and give it to the cashier in exchange for your paint. There's no need to spend anything in-store to redeem the coupon but you can only use one voucher per transaction.
Anything else I should watch out for?
- The voucher expires on 31 August 2008
- Offer's subject to availability
- Not to be used in conjunction with any other voucher discount

Hello!
It's the March issue, I think it went on sale today or yesterday if that helps....
It expires att he end of August, so lots of time to find your nearest open Focus store!!!0 -
Just been and used the voucher and it works fine. I bought 2 magazines, me and hubby went to Focus - I went in first and he went in about 10 mins later. Only states on the voucher 'one voucher per transaction' - no limit on how many times you could go in over the next week or so as there is nowhere on the voucher where you have to insert your name, address etc ! Voucher expires Aug 08. I might pop in tomorrow considering i've got a whole house to decorate ! lol
So, a BIG THANK YOU to DIYFairy for this post ! xxxx:jWeight loss to date 1st 11.5lb :j0 -
ooops my other half just quit working for focus so i had better go in and grab one myself lol thanks our house needs a good paint!"You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need"

What a great offer!!
Bought 2 magazines yesterday and went in today with hubby. We each got a 2.5L pot of cornflower blue silk emulsion.
It does say in the terms "while stocks last", but surely Focus can't run out of Focus paint.0 -
Thanks op my bedroom needs painting, dragonfly, cornflower blue is the colour i painted my boys room-really nice.0
