    You can buy a mould, make your own Easter eggs. One year, I made one for my youngest daughter. She is alien mad,(, the Sigorney weaver films) I wanted it to look like the alien eggs from the film,so I crushed malteesers into the chocolate mix. Managed to buy a Lego xenomorph which I put inside. I made a cardboard box for it, she lived in Crawley. I added the wording,IN CRAWLEY NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM  if you haven't seen the films that won't mean anything.

    If a biro leaked on an item of clothing, you'd never get the stain out ( well there are solvent type ways). I inked over the mark left by a splash of bleach. After washing the top, not a trace of the ink😡

    Try a permanent sharpie marker or similar @B3 . I've used black and navy blue on bleach spots with reasonable success.

    Thanks @JennyJ will try
    @Obelixx I thought bleach removed colour. Anyway, I have plenty of white vinegar. Will give it a go first

    I haven't tried it but the vinegar/alcohol mixre is supposed to help colour bleed in from surrounding fabric that wasn't bleached.

    I wondered if that was the case. It's not a big mark so I might make it worse.

    @debs,   That’s what I think,  they are shutting down pharmacies as it is,  a few Boots stores closing now,  I wouldn’t want our pharmacy to suffer like that,  there are so many old people living in our area and a lot of them don’t use smart phones or computers.
