This question has come up a few times this year and the answer each time is to leave them on, so that's what I'll say this time too  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Have a search on "Tillers" for previous threads.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
