To be so embarrassed at my mistake

[Tinwoman123]

NC as I know people on here IRL and do not want them knowing how stupid I am.

Currently renovating our very tired and dated house and had lovely new windows put in downstairs. I like my privacy but live on a busy man road so have always had blinds in all windows.

As the windows were put in a few days ago and work is still being done, new blinds won't be going in just yet due to all the dust and paint. So I decided to cover up my front room window as people do when getting work done (usually shop fronts)... but clever me thought I would use glass frosting. And used that ALL over my new window. DH came home from work and was horrified he said it's a pain in the arse to remove, disappeared upstairs and left it to me. I genuinely didn't realize it was something different to what is normally used.

AIBU to ask if you've ever done something daft when redecorating/renovating. I am uselsss with any form of DIY but learning a lot. (Clearly not enough).

Oh, and what is the best method to remove the frosting?

And Daily Mail you can fuck right off if you think you can publicize my embarrassment on your rag.

And breathe.

To use the glass frosting stick on cling film with toothpaste, make sure it covers all the plastic, and spray that.

I'll get my coat.

I once moved a cupboard, found a random wire, cut it and the house alarm went off. For a long time. Now THAT'S stupid.

I can only assume your DH has never made a mistake in his entire life, OP.

Your windows will clean up OP! Don't panic

My husband put up a floating shelf at hip height on our living room wall. I was sat nearby on the floor watching him. As soon as he finished I shuffled over to take a better look, turned around to stand up and completely misjudged how far away from it I was. As I stood up I basically ripped it off the wall with my arse! 😂 He was livid!

i would have one go..armed with distilled vinegar..a magic eraser(proper kind not poundland cos this is hardcore)and a wee back up attempt c.o wd40. its fucking amazing....IF i felt reaally bad i might have another 1 go(but never declare it)and perhaaps use steam cleaner. its more likely id harras the blinds company to hutty up.windows are just showy.good luck x

You need this bloke to turn your windows into a bit of magic for Christmas:

(he's quite local and does hundreds of shops/business premises, all really stunning)

These made me giggle, thank you for sharing.

I've had a relaxing bath, lovely mug of cocoa and in bed now. I realize it wasn't such a big blunder really. I posted just after realising I used the wrong thing so was still reeling from the mistake. I frequently doing daft things tallwivglasses and to be fair DH hardly ever makes mistakes. He isn't mean though but likes to tease at my dizziness.

Wow loving the snow windows! They're incredible. This Tom bloke is really talented.

I thought one year I would pretty up the glass on the front door by using the spray on snow.
I sprayed and sprayed and if Just wouldn’t look right. Checking it the next day in the daylight I had picked up a can of gold spray paint instead.
I spent a long time with a blade cleaning that one off.

If you can't get it off get the pane of glass replaced. It's not expensive.

DH once cleaned our wheelie bin with bleach wearing brand new jeans.

Pal quickly decorated box room.. He used gloss... In the ceiling and walls... That was fun

I recently decorated my front room. Carefully removed the telly from its wall mounting and placed it some 12 or so feet way.
Painted the wall and somehow managed to trip on the lowest rung of he step ladders. Resulting in me flying the full 12 feet and landing on my TV. I thought it was unscathed until I turned it on ,it was like watching a giant spiders web.

And Daily Mail you can fuck right off if you think you can publicize my embarrassment on your rag

Yeah cos that'll stop them right enough

@TeenTimesTwo

Oh my, sorry, but that made me properly laugh out loud!!!

Use a glass scraper to remove the frosting OP. It will take minutes at most and will come off perfectly.

I once moved into a house and within two weeks I threw out a range cooker with a constantly going pilot light. I was convinced it was killing me off because I felt sick, light headed and exhausted. So, definitely carbon monoxide poisoning...probably.

Two weeks later I found out I was pregnant.

Sorry OP I was gearing up for a corker of a story. Glass frosting is a massive anti-climax. And @Move2WY is right.

I think your DH is a bit of a dick for not helping you.
