Porta-Potty for Cats!
Tuesday, February 03, 2009

 I found this tip in an email today- what a great idea!

Porta-Potties For Cats

The next time you buy a 24 pack of canned pop in the
flat case, remove the cans carefully not to damage
the plastic wrap and the cardboard tray. This makes
a great disposable bathroom for your cat. Especially
if you take them traveling with you.

A-Mayonnaising!
Tuesday, February 03, 2009

I have tried many, many ways to get rid of unwanted sticky labels and I've finally found the answer! You guessed it right...MAYONNAISE!

I used to advocate using a little turpentine but it is much harder work.

Put a smearing of mayonnaise over the label (the lighter version mayo works just as well) and leave for 10-20 minutes. Then using either a fingernail or use an old credit or plastic store card- scrape the label off. It's so easy.

For any stubborn residue use that little bit of turps to get the remainder off but this is needed only for quite thick stickers.

A-Mayonnaising! - a cheap and effective solution!
