Some areas of the UK have a paint and paper recyling set-up, see if you can join your local freegle website and ask about getting free paint/paper etc.... I know merseyside has one based on the wirral and they can even arrange people to come and help if you are unable to decorate yourself for some reason.

Would the family fund not help with this? When we had adaptations 6 yrs ago they helped me think i got a cheque for something like £400 every room needed decorating after the work !

I know in Sheffield you can get social loans up to £1000 if you're on certain benefits and they take a few pounds a week off this, and is possibly the same in other areas.

Thanks everyone, mummy of matty - I'm in Sheffield too! - just had a look online for a budgeting loan, I've never heard of it before - I'm going to send off for an aplication form, it'd be a massive help, finger's crossed.

Thanks again :-) x

Hi again, thought i'd let you know that I applied for a budgeting loan and I've already heard back and they've offered a loan of £800 paying back just under £10 a week............. I think that's pretty good going. Thanks again everyone, I really didn't expect such a good (not to mention speedy) outcome.

Big weight lifted! :-)
