    Also could be a good time to teach him about money saving... a shirt is only a shirt and shouldn't cost a few hundred!!

    It was me who had a recent thread about colour runs. I got my mum to use some Oxy on it when I went home and it;s cleared it up quite a lot - it was red dye that ran into a white Tshirt from a cardi after I wore it on a hot day!

    I've used that colour run stuff from the supermarket and it worked really well. It was in a red box and was almost a fiver for two sachets :eek: but it saved all my knickers, bras and socks from being pink.

    It took the colour out of a couple of items with coloured trim but you should be ok if the white shirt is just white with no coloured bits.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

    Well if it's a choice of white with grey pattern and green patches......or white with lighter grey pattern and no green patches........then go for it.
    Just run, run and keep on running!
