I just entered a competition for tips on saving money at the show. Here was my answer: Make your own Royal Show at home with these simple tips... Sure to keep even the most demanding children completely happy: 1. Make your own Ferris wheel out of an old trampoline. Tip on side. Strap on some old chairs. Hours of free fun. 2. Make your own Dagwood dogs. Hotdog. On stick. Dip in sauce. Kids will be over the moon. 3. Get five family members you dont particularly like. Paint their faces like a clown. Line them up. Tell them to pretend theyre watching a tennis game. Get your kids to take turns sticking ping pong balls that youve painted red in their mouths. Enjoyment for all involved guaranteed. 4. I like to call this the Easy Pet Barn. Ask your neighbours to bring their dogs and cats over for an hour. Cover the loungeroom floor in hay. Let all animals roam free, including your kids. It may smell. 5. Enlist the help of Holden Commodore Club of (preferably) up North somewhere. Tell them they can do drifting/burnouts in your street for half an hour. Create a barrier or fence that you dont mind your children hanging over dangerously. Stand to the side of your children and throw dirt all over them as the cars go past. It will be just like youre at the real thing. 6. Visit the Reject Shop and buy some sparklers. Let your kids set them all of at the same time. Video this with a camera up close. Play back on tv in darkened room. Put the aircon on so its freezing cold, drape a blanket around your kids shoulders and put some sort of stupid novelty hat they will never wear again on their head. Huddle together and press play. 7. Walk the neighbourhood, shivering in the cold until your feet are so sore you can barely move. Go home. Breathe a sigh of relief the Royal Show is over for another year, and smile because you didnt spend a cent!!!!! Oh and if your kids have to have a showbag, get a few old shopping bags, fill them with broken and shit toys, write something on the front in a thick texta, hang them from the ceiling. Get your kids to walk in circles whinging, bickering and moaning for at least an hour, while you tread on their toes and bump into them (pretending to be member of general public) Ask them repeatedly to point at which ones they want, while they say I dont know over and over again until someone cries. When everyone is having the most awful time, and you feel like a vodka finally get them down with a stick. Xxx Good Luck!
