I am painting my living room... is it better to paint your walls before you gloss your skirting boards and door frames or is it better to do it the other way round?

You should paint your walls after the taping and mud is done,before any flooring is done. any staining,painting or finishing of the finish trim can be done before its put up.when painting spend time on the prep work,taping and covering stuff,it will be easier in the long run. nice luck
