17. Start a school of hydroponic gardening. The aims of your school might include: publishing booklets, producing audio cassettes, organising holiday courses, giving personal tuition and selling supplies.

18. Decorate everyday objects with pressed flowers. Add an inlaid design of pressed flowers to trays, coasters, jewellery boxes, paperweights, picture frames, wall-hangings, desk sets and table tops.

19. Begin a business which sells original paintings on hire purchase or revolving credit. Almost everyone would like to own original oil paintings but are put off because of the high initial cost.

20. Make wooden noughts and crosses games. Drill nine holes in a small square block and paint on a grid. Next make ten pegs and pint on each peg an 'O' or an 'X'. Place the grid and pegs into a clear bag and staple on a product card.

21. Bring together a range of brassware ornaments so you can have a stall at crafts fairs, antique markets and car boot sales.

22. Start a postal business which sells novel birth and death certificates to those who like to claim thatthey had previous lives. Design the certificates yourself and pay for them to be printed. Also offer a service which uses occult methods to identify previous lives.

23. Publish a weekly or monthly large type newspaper for people with poor eyesight which summarises the news of the previous week or month.

24. Set up a mail order business which sells books and products related to ventriloquism. Produce booklets and cassettes which give instructions about ventriloquism and ideas for stage acts. Also sell props and dummies. - 16459
