“Remember to close me you scatty cow x”
A loving little message from your fridge because apparently the giant cold cupboard with a light inside still isn't enough of a reminder to close the door.
Perfect for the chronically distracted, the halfway-through-making-lunch-and-suddenly-doing-something-else crowd, or that one person in your house who somehow manages to leave the fridge door open every. single. time.
This cheeky vinyl decal turns your fridge into its own passive-aggressive reminder system – but the little x means it's said with love, obviously.
Each decal is cut and weeded by hand by me at Sad Disco Club, then supplied with transfer tape already applied so it's ready to stick.

Where can I stick it?
This one was basically made for the fridge, but you don't have to stop there.
These decals work best on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces, including fridges and other appliances, kitchen cupboards and cabinets, mirrors, glass, tiles, windows and other smooth sealed surfaces.
Stick it somewhere you're actually going to see it and allow your home decor to lovingly bully you into remembering things.
Top tip: textured, dusty, greasy, damp or porous surfaces can prevent the vinyl from sticking properly, so smooth surfaces are your best bet.
How to apply
Make sure the surface is clean, completely dry and free from grease or dust.
Before removing the backing, firmly rub over the entire design to make sure the vinyl has adhered to the transfer tape. A squeegee works best, but a ruler or credit card works perfectly well too.
Slowly peel away the backing paper, leaving the vinyl attached to the transfer tape.
Position your decal, press it onto the surface and use your squeegee, ruler or credit card to apply firm, even pressure across the entire design. Pay particular attention to the smaller letters.
Slowly peel the transfer tape back on itself rather than pulling it directly away from the surface.
If part of the design hasn't transferred: put the transfer tape back down, give that area another good rub with your squeegee/ruler/card and slowly try again. Vinyl can occasionally require a little patience – especially with smaller details.
How to remove
Gently lift an edge of the vinyl and slowly peel it back from the surface.
For stubborn vinyl, a little gentle heat from a hairdryer can help soften the adhesive. Any remaining residue can usually be removed with an appropriate surface-safe cleaner.
