Sorry about the disco lights they are from previous owners.
The walls as you can see from all the indents are in a pretty bad
state, I then think what they have done is paper over with liner
paper and then paint to try and disguise it but hasnt worked.
Admittedly its no to bad in normal daylight.
Several rooms are much the same, I cant afford to get the rooms
skimmed and my own attempts at skimming fall well short. So looking
for my best DIY options.
Any thoughts?

Even thinking about attempting to skim brings me out in a cold sweat.
Your choices a
1. Super-heavy lining paper (plus filling/sanding the worst bits ).
2. The dreaded wood chip - does anyone use that any more?
3. Get counselling, so you can live with it as it is. 
4. Save up for a plasterer.
If the job is ready, I have found skimming not hugely expensive. This
site seems fairly accurate.
