How frustrating is it when you come home from a night out and can't scrub off the tramp stamp that the club applied on your right hand just a few hours before?
Well, imagine not being able to remove this year's Halloween costume. I'd be stuck as Donald Trump and it wouldn't take long before it started to look really inappropriate as I went about my day-to-day life.
Five-year-old Amelia Bell thought she had the coolest mum ever when she was allowed to go trick or treating dressed as a green witch.

That soon changed when her scrimping mum used £1 face paint from Wilkos.
After having much fun scaring old and vulnerable people, Amelia was left green-faced when the stubborn make-up wouldn't come off.

Imagine that, being unable to dress like a normal citizen because your mum bought thick, nasty war paint. I would rock up to work next to eight different Harley Quinns. My boss would stand over my desk dressed as a killer clown
complaining at the state of my Donald Trump choices and the whole thing would be a terrible!
Living that nightmare is Amelia's mum who has guilt inked all over her hands. She's tried everything to clean her daughter's face:
- Scrubbing for nearly two hours
- Denying the whole thing ever happened
- Hiding her daughter's face with a paper bag
- Scrubbing some more
- Applying spray lubricant
- Blaming Wilkos

"Amelia basically looks like the Incredible Hunk," she said. "I sent her off to the party which was two hours long and noticed my fingers were green. I tried to wash them with soap but the colour was still there.
"It was then I realised that I wouldn't be able to get it off Amelia's face. I tried everything to shift it off my hands and even bleach wouldn't shift it."
Her guilty conscience has led her to believe that it is all the supermarket's fault.
The little girl on the other hand is loving the new look and could very well be starting a new trend among her peers at school.

Meanwhile, my Donald Trump outfit is packed away in cellophane alongside next year's Hillary Clinton costume.
