I managed to spill some melted butter in my laptop keyboard yesterday. First the t stopped working, then the y. I then discovered that 5 and 6 weren't working either but tapping 5 made it permananently depressed. This made typing rather difficult. I now seem to have unjammed the 5 and I'm using an external keyboard. Now, I wonder who removes butter from laptops....

Specially trained ants!

I had a similar problem with spilt sugary coffee but I managed to quickly wash most of it off. I had a problem with a couple of letters for a while but they finally settled.

Good luck.

Yes, I'm wondering whether it will settle down a little. It may be toast - appropriate for butter, I suppose: ''I spilt butter on my laptop and now it's toast.''

Have look on the net for ideas. Was the butter salted as it could be corrosive. It could just be that the waxy nature of butter is causing the keys to stick.

Maybe if you used a hair dryer on the keyboard to melt the butter out onto a towel.

I had accidentally deleted an important email and didn't notice until I had emptied my trash which I thought meant it was gone for good. 10/10 for Yahoo mail customer support for having restored it within an hour

The downside of course is that they also re-instated about a further 2,000 previously deleted emails into my inbox in the process...

Double wardrobe malfunction. Trouser seam split. Shirt button popped off.

I need to get back on my bike.

I have just had a mini sausage roll, I now have a small idea what it must be like to be Potsy.

I've moved up in the world, I'm having a scotch egg

Lazy day today, still drained after doing 5 hours overtime yesterday, think I'll need a few more days off to recover

World Book Day.

The Gruffalo. In a borrowed onesie, I started the day feeling cosy and finished the day feeling quite woosy.

Lucky for all in the office.

I need a kettle - ours has broken.

Aldi have just had an offer for electronic kettles. £20. 3000 watts so it's quick, and you can set it to a lower temperature if you don't want boiling water (useful for coffee in an Aeropress, for example). My local only had a couple left today but there might be some left near you.
