Sticky labels on shoes or glass items,takes the patience of a saint to get some of them off then to try get rid of the residue.
Nail polish remover I think it's supposed to be acetone free... or maybe it's with acetone... It's sticky roulette!
Does that work Kaffy,thanks ,I'll try it on a new vase I got from M&S that I spent ages picking away at to no avail.?,I bought that Sticky Stuff product but didn't find it worked well,took forever to get rid of the smoky film it left on glass.
Butter (or marge I suppose) works a treat, I found it out by accident, it totally melts the sticky residue away, try it it's amazing.
Get some GooGone(Amazon site)you will not be disappointed.
But try the butter first, doesn't cost anything and believe me it works

i tried the blow method, it was all going well until i grapsed the egg ready for the blowing, and i crumpled the shell, so ended up with an eggs covered in miniscule bits of eggshell.I admit to not having any bicarbonate of soda.
However!!
I then tried a combination of methods mentioned in the thread, i boiled the eggs for about 10 mins in water that covered them completely. poured out the hot water, took the egg and tapped it on the worktop and peeled a little bit then did the same to the other end, i then plunged it into cold water, and later when it was cold peeled it.
brilliant!!!

Soy sauce bottles with that daft ring pull thingy. Just spent at least 10 minutes trying to get a hold of it. Ended up using a fork prong and pulling so hard , it gave way and i almost smacked myself in the face

Builders in the house day after day - they try hard not to be intrusive but I feel very trapped and self conscious stuck in one room!

I feel for you, i was stuck sitting on my bed when i had my kitchen done and your right you do feel very conscious

Oh I feel for you Soozy.2 years ago we done a rewire of the whole house,replaced all internal doors and frames,a new kitchen , as a result of the rewiring almost every room had to be re plastered and decorated.It started in May,didn't get it all finished until September,midway through I decided to deck 3/4 of the back garden,all in all a nightmare.great when it's all finished and looking fab but whilst it's ongoing a nightmare.

You must be a saint - if this isn't finished by next weekend (preferably before) I'm leaving home (and taking my lappy with me).

Soozy it was terrible,really terrible.Didn't help matters that the plasterer fell and broke his wrist so was out of action for 6 weeks.I would have felt bad if I'd got another plasterer so we'd to rearrange how we'd scheduled the work around the plastering.There were days the joiners were out the back sawing etc ,dust raining down like snow,the sparks in the front garden doing prep,one day I was trapped in the living room with Eamon and the dog,power tools startled Eamon and he started crying ,the doors were all blocked and I was seconds away from climbing out the living room window with him .When you get to the choosing tiles stage you're on the home run,once the *Dirty* work is over it's not too bad,and it's such a relief.I am sure you'll be delighted with the end finish ,it's lovely when it's all new .

It will - they've just this minute packed up for the day and i've just been in to run my hands over the new plaster - it's still a bomb site out there and quite a bit to do but I'm a bit smiley TBH. I'm picking my boys up at 3.30 ..................then the fun will begin!!
I feel for you sooz. When we had some major work done I phoned hubby who should have been at home on a day off ... He was out at a shopping centre. When I asked him why he said that he fancied a cup of coffee, and if he made one at home he would have had to make 22 cups for all the workmen, so he'd gone out to a cafe!

I leave them to it ..................TBH - I can live without tea and coffee - My main builder who is lovely doesn't do hot drinks and only lets his boys stop off every so often (he's very strict) all the stuff and biccies are out there - they can (and do) get on with it.
When Mr woo comes in he makes drinks for everyone (he must drink 12 or more cups of tea a day).
How being in A&E for about an hour can give a toddler a tummy bug! 
On no,aww poor little darling that's the last thing she needed,I hope your other kids don't pick it up too now Jen.

if you've been to the Queens then it doesn't surprise me, hope she feels better soon

Yeah it was Queens Aimee. She's not too bad Lee, just going through nappies like no onse business! A black eye and a red bum!
We'll put the Queens on the annoying list then Jen
It annoys me that my daughter can come in and drop of to sleep within seconds on the sofa, she's dead to the world wish i could fall asleep that fast
Oh yes! filthy place, gotta take her back there towards the end of June to see surgeons (she had a hernia and it's left a long belly button) God knows what she'll catch when they operate on it!
I've known 2 people go in there recently and both had their operations cancelled due to catching the Nora(sp) virus
eek! Dont tell me things like that... Noro is sickness and diarrhea one isnt it?
yes does she feel sick?
the nora virus is quite nasty, it makes your tights go baggy and encases your hair in a net.
