Gosh... Tara looks really like you!

You have an artistic child .... BE PROUD!!!!

My children were always drawing on themselves. I once got a phone call from the playgroup telling me that one of mine had possibly got meningitis coz his rash didn't dissapear. Panic quickly over with the help of a bottle of surgical spirit!


Ollie and his friend coloured flowers all over my pale grey carpet in pink felt tip to "make it pretty" It never came off!!

Is it the frown that gives it away!! I'm lucky that she only drew on the wallpaper once - she hasn't done it since - I must have scared her something rotten!

Oh no JBJB - the wallpaper that Anya drew on was here when we moved in and is still up - no point changing it yet as I'm sure Tara will draw on it at some stage!

I think it was a couple of nights later that he then wrote his name on the carpet backwards in thick black marker pen on the bottom stair.

We hadn't the heart to tell him off either times because he was so chuffed that he could write his name!

Needless to say, I have quite a few "Stain Devils" in my cupboard and cleaner patches on the carpet!

Little cherubs ;)

And she looked like a little angel yesterday in the back of the car!! Yes, I was taken in by that sweet little smile :sm:!!

We are going camping tomorrow and if it's sunny then she will be wearing shorts but the pen hasn't come off!! I scrubbed and scrubbed in the bath but it hasn't come off - it's faded but it's still visible!! I'm sooo gonna look like a mum who doesn't wash her children once Tara's been crawling round eating the mud too!!
P.S. Don't let the 'little angel' look fool you - she had a screaming fit this afternoon because I wouldn't give her a third biscuit!! She clearly takes after me - and they weren't jaffa cakes :D

There's an electric sander in the tool box, or a Dremel somewhere in the cellar!

That would do the trick.

Don't know if its worth a try but after a little research on the computer last week when a friens toddle covered herself in silver plasticoat paint. Olive oil did the trick to remove it?? worth a try. and if not she will have lovely soft skin

You should see my house. Just the other day my daughter found my perminant black marker and drew a picture (scribble) across the cupboard door. Today her and my son have been colouring in. I found him (7 year old) copying my daughter scribbling on my coffee table.

Oh dear Milly Molly - it normally ends up on the sofa or carpet in our house!

Olive oil might work - I'll give it a try - thanks

Mr Swirl - I didn't consider the dremel - might do that before breakfast LOL
