Has anyone any tips for getting perfectly painted internal corners? On our 3rd room or the house now , and i still cant get them 100% without touching the 'otherside' . Or should i just paint rooms one colour !!

Decent quality brushes with a thick stock , such as Hamilton 'perfection' or 'contractor' at least & preferably 'part worn' ...You need to be able to apply pressure to the brush as you draw it down (or up) without splaying-out, you wont manage easily this with cheapo brushes ;)
 
& use a wide brush; most make the mistake of using a small brush to cut in. A small brush may seem the obvious choice but, except for the extreme corners, it will hinder rather than help you achieve a straight line & applying a constant pressure to the bristles is the key, as LJW62 suggests. ;)

I find 'Ansa' brushes from B&Q very good for that sort of work.
 
Thanks, i have been using a 1" brush :oops: I have decent quality brushes (i think) £20ish quid from the local builders merchant for 4.
