      Perhaps the thinking is that addicts shouldn't find it too easy to get hold of their works? Mind you, you advocate killing them off sooner than later, don't you?

        I made my elderflower cordial this weekend, and got my citric acid from a branch of Boots. The pharmacist asked me why I needed it but didn't give me any hassles.

            Behave!

            I bought mine on eBay too - Biiiig bag of it, just in case I get the time/urge to make bath bombs for Crimbo presents too.

            This afternoon I made my first ever batch, and then my second an hour later! So I now have two bowls sat in the lounge covered in tea towels. Can't wait.

              My local Home Hardware shop has a limited brewing section and has citric acid in 50g tubs or 2kg bags, I suppose people buy according to their habits

                i managed to get some for my first lot of cordial from the pharmacy in sainsburys, however she would only sell me one tiny tiny box of it at once, so i sent my mum in afterwards to get another box . i also got interrigated on the reason for why i wanted it! however me and my family have already managed to consume the 3 bottles i made so im desperate to make somemore before the flowers all vanish for this year. but citric acid is impossible to get now. shops either dont sell it or are completely sold out!!! im not impressed!

                  Funnily enough I ordered some the other week off ebay and they sent me twice the amount I'd bought. Mailed them to tell them and they said to just keep it so will be looking into the bath bomb option Anybody got a good recipe?

                  Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                  Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                    Lucky you Alison, I bought loads anyway, just in case I had the bath bomb urge. There's not a lot you can't buy on eBay!

                    Bummocks, I was supposed to bottle my cordial this evening, and have completely forgotten. Don't suppose it'll do any harm to wait until tomorrow evening?

                      Will try the recipe with limes and cukes!
                      Snadger, any homebrew shop should sell Citric Acid, I normally get mine from Elderberry at Whitley Bay.
                      It was dark. And cold. And very, very empty.

                      And in the middle of all of the dark, cold, emptiness lay something darker, and colder, but very, very full.
