Many thanks to you both :) I will seek out the Bulls Eye 1-2-3 today - I'm all for as little mess as possible! If that fails I'll go with the whole sanding down mallarky.
Many thanks :)
And, the liquid de-glosser? Would it be ok to use this instead of sanding down, and if so do you know what it's called in stores here in the UK, I can't find it listed on B&Q's website.
Sorry, hopefully the last question!
Thanks so much for your reply. Do you know anything about the liquid de-glosser?
Also, wasn't sure whether your reply applied to the laminate kitchen cupboards AND the bedside tables or just one of them. Is it the same process for both?
Thanks for your help - it is so much appreciated.
I have a couple of pine (but not solid pine) bedside chests similar to the one pictured here :

I want to paint them ivory to match my new decor and bought the above...
