I have a wet room instead of a standard bathroom, and the floor is covered with very rough, textured, almost gravel-like Lino, in a light mint-green colour.

Yesterday I wore a new pair of black leggings and got caught in the rain. When I got home and started getting ready for bed, I took my wet clothes off and was sat on the floor brushing my teeth before getting into the shower (I sat on the bathroom floor, as my balance isn’t good enough to stand whilst brushing my teeth). Generally after this I’ll give the floor a quick wipe down, both because in this case I’d been sat on it without clothes on, and because I know I’ll need to sit there again the next day, even if I’m not normally naked.

Embarassingly (and kind of hilariously) I discovered that the leggings must have leaked dye onto my behind, which had in turn transferred a clear butt print onto the lino, and it wasn’t coming off with the flash mop. I switched to neat bleach and a hard bristle scrubbing brush, but nope, that didn’t do anything.

Has anyone got any idea what I should try doing next? Admittedly not too many folk come in to use my disabled bathroom, but I’d still rather the ones that do not be confronted with a clear print of my bare backside 😂

(And yes, I’m aware this is very funny).

Hello all 😊

My question is just as the title suggests really. I’m in the UK, and a therapeutic art space which I volunteered at has been shut down very unexpectedly, with almost no notice.

During the sessions, members would each work on their own artwork, which could be anything they fancied, and essentially the group just provided the motivation of having a set time where they would work on their art, and also produced a sense of community and helped to combat loneliness. Our members were vulnerable people with a shared experience of overcoming addiction, and the loss of this space is completely devastating.

I would really love to be able to suggest to the members, before we part ways, an online space where they could do something similar. In the past I’ve participated in exactly that but for writing, and I believe I found that on Eventbrite. It was free and since it was writing, participants weren’t talking to one-another during the session, but it was just motivating and comforting to know that you were in this massive digital writing room with so many other people.

I’m in the UK, so ideally in terms of time zones it would be something which would work with that, but honestly anything would be great, as no doubt there will be times when members find themselves awake in the middle of the night.

Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read this 🙏🏻 ☺️
