One of my lovely peeps got a visit from her grandson all dressed in his school uniform today.

I noticed something on his back and it is damn chewing gum on his new blazer.

Is it ice cubes you put on the chewing gum to make it hard and then it's easier to remove or am I mixing it up with something else.

I have to type a report for work and I haven't time to be googling around.

I know one of you lot will have the answer!

Thanks in advance.

Yep, best way is to stick the whole thing in the freezer, then you can pull the frozen lump off in one go. (just to confirm lol)

I texted his dad and told him what to do......

Also added to make sure his son wasn't in the damn blazer if he decided to stick it in the freezer!

Just been to put his gran to bed.

She asked me to glue the beak back on her green duck.... don't even go there.

Caught her out and pretended I had super glued my hand to the duck.

Won't tell me what she called me... and I call her The Duchess!

Well I never!!
