bollocking for 6yo dd

Left dd in bathroom doing toilet & teeth before bed while I popped downstairs for 5 minutes. We only have hardboard down in there at the mo as we're waiting to have flooring put down.
When I went back up I found she'd helped herself to my Bio-Oil and absolutely covered her hands and feet in it and left huge oily splodges and footmarks across the bloody floor. I think the quantity involved was not intentional but she's old enough and intelligent enough to know not to be doing that sort of thing in the first place imo.
So had a rant and initially said we'd be rethinking the 3 Halloween parties she's been invited to over the weekend, however since it's such short notice & our friends are now expecting her, and since i've already forked out for a costume and ticket for the 2nd party (Rainbows disco) have now said she can go to parties but no tv until Monday.
Seems reasonable to me but tbh I don't have to punish her v. often so would be interested to get the MN verdict!
She has gone to bed a v. unhappy bunny.

Personally, I think the 'no TV til Monday' thing was fine. Did you tell her why she wasn't having the TV? Just asking as some kids have to be reminded as to why they had something taken away/stopped.
