So, how do you avoid always having a snail trail of snot on your shoulder?

[Mung]

With a Ds (2.4) and a DD (0.9) I constantly seem to have a shiny trail on my shoulder. DD seems to have a constant cold, ear infection, bad chest, cough...anything really, whilst Ds just gets a runny nose.

Any tips on preventitive measures to avoid colds or ways of avoiding the snot trail will be most welcome.

don't look at your shoulder

Wear a muslin on your shoulder at all times.

wear a snot coloured top?

sorry, I'll be interested to see replies to this, as my clothes are always dirty, have just got used to it though

or buy a sparkly silver top - the snot is less visible

Train them to wipe it on their sleeve?

another vote for a muslin over the shoulder

I thought the days of carrying a muslin were gone. I have taken to wearing T-shirts in the house and changing just before leaving.

Twiglett - but everyone else does!
