    LOL. It was a thread about something that got resolved ten seconds after I posted it!

    An embarrassingly simple DIY question... :o

    Far less embarrassing to have left it there, tbh ;)

    We're all going to have a field day wonderng what you actually said...

    "I'm a regular poster using another ID....."

    "I'm sorry if this is too much info, but [reams and reams of 'too much info' :eek:]

    A combination of the above.

    And so on. :D

    Much - much - less embarrassing to leave a DIY question on the board for our perusal.

    You'd probably have found that you got a lot of replies along the lines of "OMG!!! I did that too!!" :rotfl:

    OK, OK. The charity thing swung it. :o

    I was asking how to get red wine off a carpet. Googled it in desperation and found the solution straight away (soda water - happily, I had some and it worked) :o
    Life is a gift... and I intend to make the most of mine :A

    Never regret something that once made you smile :A

    Tropez - if you still want to do it, then I'll nominate the Samaritans, as they have helped me so much lately. Thank you xx

    What did I tell you?

    "OMG!!! I did that too!!" :o

    Quick response is critical too.

    Salt doesn't work as well as soda water (in my experience).

    Glad it worked out for you :beer: (those glasses do not contain red wine :o)

    Blu Tac, No More Nails, and occasionally a hammer and nails are very useful things to have around for a myriad of uses ;). Oh and WD40 for things that squeak.

    WD40 makes things move if they should, and don't.

    Duct tape stops thinks moving if they shouldn't, but do.

    Salt! That works a treat.

    Red Wine?

    My Sister in law would get it up without leaving any trace - with just a straw... :eek:
