Add salt to the ice to get it even colder.

Just the comment I was going to make :-)

This "trick" works even better if the ice is crushed first. Make sure you add loads of salt - at least a couple of heaped table spoons to a sandwich bag of crushed ice. You can get the temperature down to -10 easily with this method. I always found it worked better if the ice was dry when the salt as added so crush it up quickly and get the salt in fast.

Many thanks to all who have replied. I will try what you advise and see what comes of it. The carpet, by the way, is not in my home but at a school and yes, I do have a load of spare to try out the replies on :-) Fir some reason, not every post came up on my ISP.

Thanks again

Dave

BT servers are renowned for their crapness, I believe. The standard advice was to get a free account with news.individual.net, but from the start of next month it will no longer be free - still a good service though.

Now I understand :-(
