    Opinions please :) - there was a black mark on the wall, right at eye level, really noticeable. It's rubbed off but has left a little pale patch where the colour of the wallpaper has rubbed off too (it's only the size of a penny, so not horrendous)

    Do you think I should try and find a similar coloured pencil and lightly shade it in? (the wallpaper is a very light coffee colour)

    Try a very light wash of artist watercolour paint - if you go too dark you can lift it off with a wash of water - a dusting of eyeshadow might work as well you can brush off if too dark and that's all brown isn't it... I carry no liability for this advice....

    She has now bought a support bandage, so hopefully will be fit and able soon!

    I haven't got any watercolour paint, but eyeshadow I can definitely do! ;)

    Thanks, that's a really good idea. I will just brush a tiny little bit on to start with, to see how it looks. :T

    How are you BB?

    Snaggles -- all you have to do is make the most of every moment with your family --- they grow so fast. Dont ever be afraid to love them toooooooooooo much but dont spoil them with possessions. Its time that is impotant. Wanting things is very differet than needing things. Teach them right from wrong and that seriously includes money issues and read to them ALL the time and then when they are grown send them away with a smile when all you want them to do is to stay home with you
    Try and do a good deed every day.

    Fine. Don't worry about the boy too much, I've seen the school records of some of my aspies and it sounds like he's pretty unextreme, he'll only get better at controlling his emotions and school is the worst time for most of them... people don't push people over in the real world there's employment law and stuff....
