They're glossy so seem to hold up to the wet - they even survive the dishwasher - but when I pull them off they do leave a gluey residue behind. This year I bought some Tupperware freezer stickers because they don't leave a residue, but if they get wet they come off right away, which means they don't even last the job they're meant to do. Now I've gone back to my $2 shop stickers and keep putting stickers over top of where the old ones were.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894865592266996002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259440915388487276.post-58433105261084406182010-05-22T08:39:51.168+12:002010-05-22T08:39:51.168+12:00Hi Emma!

I really need to do more batch cooking and freeze things - I noticed your labels on your containers, what do you use so that they don't go all wierd and wet and yucky? I haven't had much luck labelling my containers. I tried putting them in large glad bags but they just don't stack as nicely!

Anything like egg cartons, cereal boxes, small boxes (muesli bars, baking powder, spices etc) and rolls from the inside of paper towels/gladwrap.<br />I also give them our old Christmas/birthday cards (just cut off the front picture if you don't want them to see the words as the kids like to cut them up anyway).<br />And fabric scraps/wool are great to pass on.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997744258168729718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259440915388487276.post-75040652300425981202010-05-07T10:32:27.019+12:002010-05-07T10:32:27.019+12:00That's a good idea sending the food boxes to k...That's a good idea sending the food boxes to kindy.

All the vege scraps go out to the compost, apple scraps, rice, bread etc all get thrown out to the birds - they even ate tuna pasta the other day. Empty food boxes get sent to kindy as do fabric scraps, so in the end we sometimes only put a bag our every second week. I'm guilty of using disposables though although we are down to one or two a week (night naps)<br /><br />that was a good idea to use lids as cot toys - couldn't get much safer!A Life Less Complicatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261618906977980637noreply@blogger.com
