The blu tac left parts of the walls looking pretty ropey, and a very patchy rope at that. We needed a half assed solution and we needed it cheap. We checked out Kmart but they only had 1000 litre tanks so we were intending to bother some handyman types around our works.
Luckily we did nowt as usual and still the perfect solution fell into our laps. As we wandered back from the shops on Saturday, kebabs in hand, we noticed a load of clutter out on the street. It's a bit of an institution round here that people dump their unwanted crap on the streets for others to plunder. Mostly it's broken CD racks,1980s microwave and other such useless tat but sometimes, like Saturday, you strike gold. We found a half-used pot of paint that was the perfect match (conveniently the walls are plain white.) We got right to work. The results were totally satisfactory.

Are you using Colgate Whitening toothpaste to touch up the doors? You're bound to get your deposit back... the walls may have blu-tac marks but they'll have no plaque.
A toothbrush. I'm scunnered. Not even me, at my lowest, most desperate ebb, painted with a toothbrush.
It must be a Rolf Harris thing.
