Ha ha ha ha ha!!! huge
I can laugh at this as today, whilst round my mum's (who is on hols at the mo) my ds took a piece of coal out of the fire and chucked it around the room, smeared it in, broke bits off and left dirty hand prints everywhere! Thing is, carpet is cream!! It was reaaallly bad!
(just so you know, the fire is not used at the moment and we normally put something in front of it to stop him getting to it)
I can now laugh (after streams of tears) as I managed to clear it all up.
