An angry West Lothian mum has hit out at B&M after claiming the budget store's £20 wallpaper won't stick to her walls.
Miriam Beck, from Bathgate, bought four rolls of the glittery silver wallpaper from the discount store and was hoping it would help give her home a makeover after her son and partner moved out.
The 46-year-old spent £146 on the paper, paint and brushes for her DIY project but was left furious after her home makeover turned into a disaster after seven failed attempts at sticking the paper to her living room walls.

B&M told our sister title the Daily Record that the local mum has been incorrectly using the product.
The exasperated mum-of-four claims she also tried to use super glue, heavy-duty paste, edge glue, no more nails and spray adhesive in her failed efforts to bring some sparkle to her home.
Miriam told the Record: "Normally, I am good at putting up wallpaper - I have done my whole house myself from top to bottom.
"I wouldn't say I have qualifications, but I know what I need for the job at hand. It's frustrating and infuriating."
"I would put it up one day and the following morning I would go into the living room and see it had fallen down.
"It kept happening again and again to the point where I had to take it down and clean the walls to restart.
"I wish I had just painted them. I kept trying to stick down the wallpaper for over a month."
A spokesperson for B&M said: “Unfortunately, on this occasion, the customer did not follow the application instructions on the wallpaper. This product is a ‘Paste the Wall’ product, and the customer pasted the paper when she first applied it.
"As a gesture of goodwill, we have contacted the customer to provide her with a full refund of the paper she purchased. We’d advise any customers in future to ensure they read the instructions carefully before they start any wallpaper DIY project”.
