    was wondering if any of you lovely mums or dads, know how to get tar off clothes, my road has been re-surfaced in the last couple of weeks, but they just put tar all over road, then scattered stones all over it and it is a cul de sac so we don't get much traffic, and with this heat it is just melting really bad. Well all the stones get flicked up over pavements and grass areas, and my son has sat on the grass/pavement in a few pairs of his shorts and got tar all over them.

    Would the same treatment you use for chewing gum work?
    I've thrown the clothes with chewing gum on in the freezer before and worked with it that way....?

    :eek::eek: looks like you could fry an egg on that :eek::eek:

    After sun....and lots of it. Aloe vera gel is really good if you have any. Ow.

    Yep I agree loads of Aloe Vera and maybe some natural yoghurt, that's the trouble with fair skin, did you not get any of those travel bottles from Boots last year which were almost free, not very MSE tut tut.

    Sadly been there done it, could always stay in the Chiller isle at Tesco to cool it down at bit.

    I feel the pain just looking at it :(
