This is a question Money-saving tips

I'm broke, you're broke, we're all broke. Even the smug guy on the balcony with the croissant hasn't got two AmEx gold cards to rub together these days. Tell everybody your schemes to save cash.

Vinegar Tits
White vinegar makes an excellent alternative to fabric conditioner. It doesn't coat your clothes is a shitty film of chemicals and is a lot cheaper. Add about the same amount as fabric conditioner and be amazed at how soft your clothes become and they don't smell of vinegar either.

Also, bosh a load of bicarbonate of soda down the plughole then pour a healthy measure of white vinegar in after it. Watch in amazement as it fizzes up the bunghole, cleaning as it goes. Fire a half kettle of boiling water in after 10 mins. No more rancid drain smells.

Bored? Not got a Wii Box or a flat screen telleh? Can't afford silly putty? Make your own entertainment by mixing cornflour with water until you have a gloopy paste. Watch in amazement as it becomes solid when under any sort of pressure, eg rolled about in your hand, then turns to liquid once you stop. Voila, your very own non Newtonian fluid.

That last one truly is a joy to behold.
Try hitting it with a hammer! And for large-scale shenanigans you can walk on custard (as long as it's Birds or similar, none of that eggs & cream malarkey).

(you might have to make sure you stamp down as you walk, and walk briskly)

Yes, long before that point in the post.

Fucking hell.

Some people are quite nasty in comments. =/
Why didn't you just not read it and go away? Everyone would have been happy.

When I worked ina kitchen we used too make balls of corn flour and play catch.
As soon as you stopped the momentum it would melt onto the floor and the person would have to pick it up :)

Despite the haters,
I actually enjoyed this post. I love the idea of making my own Cillit Bang! I shall try this tonight after I have been to the pub. Should be an entertaining conclusion to the night.
