How much do you need? I have a fair bit at home as is used in my job!

SparklyAlice · 30/11/2009 15:25

I tried Lloyds chemist, boots and savers - nothing.

I only need a little i think, (just realised DH may be able to get some through his work) thanks Thandeka!

Will the funny looks you're getting be due to the fact that some people use citric acid to cut heroin or cocaine or something. Think I read that once somewhere.

Well, thats what i thought, but i am wrapped up in my sensible all weather coat, with DD in her sensible all terrain buggy, and i did explain it was for bathbombs....

You know that it is Vitamin C don't you? You could crush up Redoxon tablets!

My cornershop sells it in with the herbs and spices and nuts n stuff.

Wilkinsons - in the home brew section. It's made by a company called 'Youngs'. Search it online if you can't get it in Wilkos.

I also got the 3rd degree from local chemist getting my little container of Vit C also. For making wholemeal bread not crack cocaine/crystal meth.

when i bought some from our local chemist, the woman said: ''I'm supposed to ask you why you want some. Yes. because most people will happily confess ''Actually I want to use it as a buffer to increase the solubility of my heroin..''

I mumbled: ''No! No! I'm making elderflower cordial!'' And then felt all irrationally guilty in the way you do when you see a policeman, even though you are entirely innocent of everything.
