- Why is your unloved room unloved? What do you want to change about it? What has stopped you until now?
I'm doing the living room. I think its unloved because all I ever seem to do is tidy it, having 4 children means its constantly full of toys and and don't get chance to sit and relax or watch anything I want to watch on the tv, its all Cbeebies, that's when ds3 stops pressing buttons, turning it on and off or trying to scale the tv stand for 5 minutes! So there never seems any point doing anything nice to it. Its magnolia at the moment and very dull. Lack of money hasn't helped either. I want somewhere nice to sit and drink a cup of tea in when the children are all in bed, more storage and I want to put the tv on the wall where ds3 can't get at it. And I want a feature wall even though most on Mn think they are dated
- Where did you get your inspiration for doing up the room from? What sort of style are you going for etc?
I've been looking at people's houses on fb 
and stole some of their ideas, I'm going for a bold feature wall, its bright blue with big cream flowers on, and painting the walls a silver/grey colour to match some of the patterns on the wall paper, I'm getting some cushions in grey shades and some blue accessories.
- Have you had much help along the way with the revamp? If so, who from? And what sort of help - practical or ideas-based?!
My eldest two boys have been helping me, we have painted the ceiling, done all the gloss work and painted the walls so far, we did hang the wallpaper but it sort of fell off again so I need to redo it, plus I think it was wonky! Ds3 has helped by spilling a tin of emulsion on the floor, and pulling some wallpaper off 
it would be alot easier if he wasn't helping to be honest but by the time he's in bed, ds4 (17 weeks) wants to cluster feed and then I'm knackard and just want to sleep.
- How did you find your shopping experience at B&Q? Were the staff helpful? Did you find anything in store you maybe didn't expect to beforehand?
The staff at b&q were quite helpful the first time we went, it amazes me how I can ask them for a random item and they know straight away which aisle I need! Staff were friendly and didn't seem to mind helping. We had to take the paint pod back as the useless thing kept refusing to work, the store we bought it from we're spectacularly unhelpful to be honest, I couldn't get to speak to anyone about it, the switchboard kept asking me to phone the paint pod people direct (which I had done already!) and didn't listen when I asked them of I could exchange it in store, just kept fobbing me off - one of them said he would check and come back to me, which was days ago but no one from that store has for back to me yet. So I called a different store, who said it was no problem and changed it for me with no hassle. I had to call before hand as I don't drive, and didn't fancy taking the double pushchair, carrying the paint pod and catching several buses from store to store in the rain only to find I couldn't change it.
- Did you use any of the help and advice that B&Q offer? This includes their videos on YouTube, leaflets and classes in store etc. If so, how useful was that help and advice?
- If B&Q could do anything more to help you next time you visit, what would it be?
I've been watching some YouTube videos but my class isn't until the end of the month. We waited in b&q for half an hour at customer services for the manager who was going to swap the paint pod, until my baby was really screaming and I was totally fed up. Then they decided to tell me she was in a meeting.... After all that it was changed by a regular staff member after they decided they didn't need the manager after all. There is always a lot of waiting at b&q and things move so slowly.
- Have you had any feedback on what you've done with the room from family/friends? Has the transformation had a big impact on you and/or your family?
We haven't finished yet, I've got to put the tv up and fix the trunking up, no one has seen the stuff we had already done yet, but I think they will like it.
