sons school polo shirts, last monday, came out of school with paint on it. okay, paint from schools normally come out in the wash. not this paint

i have soaked it for 2 days, i have washed it 5 times, i have sprayed it with stain thingy before washing it, i have added napisan vanish into the wash, i have made the paste with the aforementioned napisan vanish, and applied it to the stains.............nothing, they are still there. so now he is down to one polo shirt for school. he came out yesterday, with some stains on his one good one. so, i washed them both again last night, boosting my wash (i have an extra button which washes heavy solied stuff better, adds on more time to the wash, but usually does the trick), and adding yet more of the napisan after spraying the stains - AGAIN!!

now i have 2 polo shirts with stains on that i CANNOT get out for the life of me :scared:

i know this sounds trivial to a lot of you, but having moved over here in august, i have found myself not settling too well, much to my horror. hubbie has settled in great, kids are doing okay. me? not so good................so, everything that isnt going right is a real trauma at the mo, reducing me to tears etc.

can anyone sugggest what to do with these blasted school shirts, apart from buying new ones, which we cant really do as hubbies wage isnt enough to live off at the moment.

please dont take the p**s out of this, due to my delicate frame of mind and me wanting to go back to the UK at every other hour, you might just push me over the edge

I have finally made the step and posted since landing on this side, I used to post in the UK, however, since arriving I am having difficulty settling in and have just been 'lurking' on here!

I have posted on another thread to Sleeping Beauty, thought I would post to you on here! I am in Cessnock, about 40 minutes from Charlestown. I envy the Perth ladies who seem to have a fantastic network, however I realise that is not going to happen if I simply 'lurk', hence posting today! Hopefully I have turned a corner!!
