I'm just about to try and soak DD1's school shirts from last week. She was in the schools production of Annie and performed 3 days on the trot so I have 3 shirts and vests that are caked in 6 inch thick american tan coloured foundation! It was a complete nightmare to try and get it off her the night of the dress rehearsal but went to M****sons and got some cheap and cheerful cleansing wipes and off the muck came. She's only 9 and thought it was great that she was wearing mascara as well ... i've washed her shirts so many times and the marks just wont come out so got some 99p soda crystals from the local shop and am going to soak them in the vain hope that this will bring them back to white! Not so bothered about the vests but I like the girls to go to school with white shirts ... OMG Im turning into my mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was all-in-all, since I got home at 2pm... not just the last HH...

Anyway - Have picked up three sprogs from school and have decluttered a FLIPPING WINGMIRROR!! Im furious.

Someone at school has obviously hit my car and knocked it off, and they cant claim the didnt notice as the pieces where gone...so they obviously got out and picked them up!

More hassle and money that I dont want to spend... :mad::mad::mad:

Need to find out the part numebr and see if I can buy it cheap and hopefully find someone to fit it for me

Anyhoo - have found some mince and garlic bread in the freezer so the kiddywinks and I will all have spagbol for tea... like it or not..

WM has just finished so am off to go hang it up somewhere and fume silently about my car...

ETA - Bonsi... Do you have stardrops? Try some of that neat on the stains and put some in the wash too.... its a degreasant, which helps break down the oil in the make up. If the shirts are plain white, you could always use some good old fashioned bleach? Fingers crossed hun. x
