93 pages of viewers pretty solidly rubbishing this programme - which, imho, really has lost the plot:

OH was swearing at one episode the other week where they were loosening car locks with washing up liquid. All the liquid was running down the doors. As OH rightly pointed out the superscrimper method would then involve washing the car and re polishing where the abrasive liquid had been, or, you could go to Poundland and buy a can of WD40.

My mum and I saw an ep where one of the women said to make "free" placemats by cutting up wine corks and attaching them to some boards. We counted she'd need at least 20 bottles of wine for what she was making.

That isn't exactly cheap...

Most wine that I buy does not even have corks so would have to drink a dearer version, I'll drink to that.

Did anyone see the episode where they got a couple of students to 'improve' a couple of pairs of shoes for under £5 rather than buy new shoes? The results were a total mess that I can't believe anyone would wear out....not exactly a good example of 'make do and mend'.

Most of their tips seem to be about doing things an old school way with natural products etc...they seem to forget that one of the reasons these methods lost popularity is that modern cleaners etc are more effective and more economical.

I watch it sometimes, the one moment from it that always sticks out to me if from the Christmas episode. A woman showing you how to make a "glamorous" necklace for a special friend, your mum etc, out of bits of cereal box cut in to bow shapes and covered in coloured felt :rotfl:

The person who gets such gift will apparently love their new "statement necklace"

My favourite was the advice to boil up six large tomatoes for about 4 hours to make an eggcupful of ketchup. Or the necklace made from a cereal packet - if someone over the age of 5 gave me one of those as a present, they'd get it right back.

I stopped watching when their advice was to make a 'free brooch' by sticking a big flower over an existing brooch. That hardly helps if you dont have a brooch to begin with. Ridiculous.
