    Yes I have also noticed the dodgy tips, like re upholstering old furniture.

    By the time I've bought foam, fabric, staple gun, trim, paint, sandpaper etc etc I could have spent under a tenner on a stool or chair.

    Looks like fun though!

    Do you mean increasing the amount of impurities to a higher level of concentration?

    I haven't topped up a car battery for years and years anyway. Not since I got sent to the stores for a 'long stand' ;) They're sealed now.


    Did you get the DPM paint too? :D

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I don't think £150 pm for 2 is excessive, we spend more than that, but OH does spend a small fortune on fruit and fresh veg.

    I thought it was a bit odd too as I haven't seen an unsealed battery for years. I think they just have these old fashioned scrimping tips in the show to add a bit of variety.

    I also thought that encouraging people to forage for plants to eat could be a bit dodgy too. Stay away from the 'shrooms, folks.

    The same woman was showing how to make home made pesto. By the time you have foraged for your wild garlic, bought the pine nuts, oil, and so on, you could have bought a jar of pesto for under a quid. Mass production and cheap foreign labour has put paid to many money saving activities, I'm afraid. It's cheaper to buy a new pair of socks from Primark than it is to buy a sewing kit to darn the old pair.



    I'm all for reduce, reuse, recycle, but smart shopping is the easiest way to save money these days.

    I thought it was hilarious in the last series they made tomato ketchup, it probably cost a fiver to make for about three tablespoons!!
