I've seen those disposable pipettes at shows at 5 for £1. Three years ago I bought a box from Scientific& Chemical. If I remeber rightly it cost me about £12. There was 1000 in the box. They'll see me out. PM me if you want the contact address.

I've been using plastic drinking straws as pippettes for years, mostly for transferring thinners to make washes etc.
Just dip the straw into the liquid to be transferred and press the fleshy part of a fingertip over the uppermost end. If air can't get in from the top, then the liquid won't fall out of the bottom.

i remember stealing some from the science department after a lab dont punish me plz! lol, i jsut cant find any!

but wityh some desperation you could sure use a straw, but it would be harder
