As part of our partnership with B&Q, we're looking for 20 MNers who have an unloved room in their home that they'd like to revamp. Do you have a sad and tired spare room you'd like to make over? A living room in need of a spruce? Or a bedroom crying out for redecoration?

Here is what B&Q say about their unloved rooms initiative: "This summer, we're launching a new initiative to help Britain say goodbye to its unloved rooms. Most homes have one - a spare room that's more of a cupboard, a tired and broken bathroom from a different era, even an overgrown garden that's become a jungle. With our vast range of home decoration products and simple expert advice, we want more people to see that making a big difference doesn't need to be difficult or expensive. Whether it's picking the right look, choosing the right products, at the right price or simply finding out how to make it happen, we're making sure you'll find it all under one roof at B&Q."

If you're selected to take part you'll:

  • Be sent a £300 B&Q gift card to spend as you wish on materials to re-decorate/revamp your unloved room
  • Need to be available to complete your room revamp between 14 May and 3 June
  • Write feedback on how your revamp is going during that time on a thread on MN
  • Need to send in photos to MNHQ of before, during and after the revamp

10 of the 20 participants will also need to film their revamp process on their smartphone (via an app we'll need you to download). Those MNers will receive an additional £25 B&Q gift card as a thank you for doing filming.

B&Q would also like participants to attend a You Can Do It class in store if possible - this would be free of charge but they're only available in certain stores. This isn't essential to taking part but please indicate on the sign up form (link below) which store you could get to if you would like to attend.

If you'd like to take part, please sign up here.

Any queries, please post them here.

Thanks and good luck
MNHQ

Right, gin storage vouchers are understandably outwith my remit
But I will see what we can find out in the morning
Thanks for your patience, all

Apologies everyone - I clocked off without putting anyone out of their misery last night! We've had confirmation from B&Q now so I'm going to email the chosen 20 now - keep an eye on your inbox (and your spam!)

If you don't hear from me then sorry, you haven't been picked, but we're doing loads more for B&Q over the coming months so there will be loads more chances, including this thread - please join in!

Hi testers - ok - we can extend the deadline to Mon 3rd June at 9am - please make sure you have uploaded all of your footage by then.

Good luck everyone!

HappyHippy - it was 31 May but someone else asked for the weekend to finish off, so we've moved it to 3 June.
