    Hi there, does it have to be a character type bottle or will a sports motif kind do?

    If you have a Sportsworld near you they often sell them behind the tills for about £1 to £1.50
    Thanks to all who post comps :A :T

    Our local 99p store has been known to stock them, and also Matalan had some in last time I was there...

    1. Buy bottle of water of appropriate size with sports top.

    2. Drink water.

    3. Refill.

    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 ...

    my understanding is that once used once it starts to over time leech chemicals into the water from the plastic. plastic has not been developed to be reused over & over again.

    That's a myth... What do you think the bottles you linked to on eBay are made from?

    I don't believe it is a myth as such. All plastic bottles do leech chemicals into the water (or food if food containers etc) however it has been suggested that it is in such low levels that it doesn't affect us. Apparently it is more of a problem when hot things are put into plastic, or heated in plastic containers.

    I use these bottles for myself and DD: http://www.onegreenbottle.com/

    I also try to avoid as much plastic packaging as possible and don't have a microwave.
