    Healing, well being, strength and coping vibes for Lady-L, MSD, Toots and LW. (Glad Penny behaved in the pub, hope you topped up her flask :D)

    Hellyboo - Babywipes are usually my first port of call, then stardrops, then washpowder/liquid?

    Got caught up working, doing those kind of things you never normally have time for but need to move so off for a HHC if anyone wants to join in

    ETA - runs to catch up with cabbage and lilo

    Gah DS has just drawn on my new rug in orange felt tip - any ideas what to tackle it with?

    Try hairspray, thats what i'm gonna try on DS2 white coat which he coloured in red, blue and pink in felt tip.
    Spray it on and dab it off then rinse with warm water. HTH
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
