    Check the B&Q or Homebase websites for deals.

    HB has 15% off this weekend for starters, and I think one or the other might have 3 for 2 on dulux paint too.s

    Hi

    Don't forget to check the paint section in diy shops where they mix the paint up. Lots of times customers end up not liking the colour of the paint and so the shop are 'stuck' with it. Remember watching some housey/ superscrimper type programme where they were able to buy the paint for only a few pound and it was a little better than the neutral colours (which are usually the cheapest).

    Best of luck
    I got there - I'm debt free and intend to stay that way. If I haven't got the cash, it doesn't get bought. It's as simple as that.
