in Old style MoneySaving
Hi All, title should read off sorry!!

Soo my friend has just knocked on for some white spirit, I asked a nosey why and her 5 year old has got hold of the tin of gloss she left out (midway through decorating phone call,) tipped it all over the floor and done some hand and foot painting with it!!!

Luckily the carpets were so the floor not a problem but is there anyway to get it of her DD without scrubbing her to within an inch of her life with the white spirit????

Please any help or suggestions greatly needed!! (Its also on her face and there are class pictures on monday!!!)

Has gone to play on her own little world for a bit..... but its ok the voices in her head came too so she's not alone ;)

    oops, hope it comes off relatively easily (and the child doesn't have any cuts to contend with (ouch)). I don't envy your friend though.
    Thankfully mine have only done with it with a tin of emulsion.

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
