    I always use acetone free nail varnish remover. The stuff with acetone in it might be okay too but i;ve never tried it. I've used the acetone free stuff to take of stickers off of Nintendo DS, and stickers off plastic boxes, all with no marks left.

    WD40 gets sticky gunk off....either use the squirty one from an aerosol can or the "pen" style & wipe off with kitchen roll/damp cloth/whatever is handy....always works for us:D

    Thank you all for your replies:D I used in the end before I saw the replies warm water and roll it off with finger nail wipe with tea towel and repeat oh at least 20 times:rotfl: it is off now but was not a pleasant job and very time consuming:rotfl::D

    Time to resurrect thread, some brill pictures on here for ideas.
    My 18,15, and 8 year old son ask for these each year.

    My tip would be don't make them up until a day or two before as I think they go a bit stale. They only take a few minutes to make up.

    You can get loose sweets from this lot

    and the boxes I found at pound savers or was it bitz or it could have been wilkinsons

    Anyway, one of them :confused:

    They've got some great old goodies - I got some jazzies, lions midget gems, and strawberry foam.

    I once ordered a load of stuff from a quaretr of and it took 2 weeks for them to deliver to me!!! And it was knackered when it arrived :eek:

    Did anyone say you can buy them boxes at a fishing tackle shop - Because you can
    You can buy boxes there now, they can do a deal if you need loads!
