Well I guess Christmas is over for another year!!
We're now in New Years mode trying to make, print, and check addresses for all our 年賀状 (nengajo). I really want them sent tomorrow but I don't think that's going to happen somehow. The picture side is all designed but I need the ok from S before that side gets printed. So far I have only printed out the addresses on the cards. Usually that side is hand written but I have given up this year. I mean, who wants to hand write 130 cards when the printer will do it for you in minutes??!!??? No time for that this year!! And probably next year, and the year after. lol
Enough about that.
Onto the wall.
Thanks Illahee for the advice about the toothpaste and hairspray.
I actually used toothpaste to get the ink off the chair (along with nail polish remover) and B's arms when it first happened. It didn't get it all off but after scrubbing every night in the bath for about 4 days he's as clean as!!! I tried it on the wall too but it had next to no effect, so that's when I switched to nail polish remover. I had another go after reading your comment but nothing seemed to happen.
My last hope is hairspray. Which I don't own!! Shock, horror!! lol
Will have to do something about that! lol
And just for your information, I don't own nail polish either. So I have no idea why I had nail polish remover in the house!!! But it sure came in handy! Ha!ha!
Actually I think the problem is with the actual wallpaper. It's more papery than the stuff used on other walls in the house. I've been able to wipe off any small marks off the other wallpaper with A's おしりふき (oshirifuki, or bum wipes) with no problems. Oh well, can't win them all I guess.
wow - can't believe you used to write out the addresses for nengajo. We have printed for years, lol! The picture side always get us - we never have a nice picture of us all. This year we used (an average) one we took 2 days ago, talk about girgiri.
返信削除Sorry to hear the removal of the artists work is so still causing you grief. Hope you make headways.
All the best for a Happy New Year!!
my one other suggestion is the 'magic' erasers, the white foam sponges you can find most anywhere. i suggest the 100 yen shop. supposedly, these things can clean off anything. it's mostly used on things that have water spots, like the mirror in the bath, or the pipes in the kitchen. but i think it's supposed to clean anything. (i kind of hate them because they tend to go to hell immediately, but if i were desperate, i would use one!)

返信削除I used to think it was more personal that way, writing the addresses I mean, but after using printed addresses I don't think I can make the change back! lol
illahee
Thanks for your advice again. I have some of that magic eraser you mentioned and I tried it out but I guess it works on other things, just not ink. On the bright side, it did help get rid of the remainder of the toothpaste I used on the wall the other day cause it all foamed up!lol
LOL sounds like the wallpaper is funky anyway. maybe it will fade with time....
