Two-year-old from Newtownabbey's home decorating efforts catch mum by surprise

Spare a thought for mum Jenny Abbot from Co Antrim as she steps into a new day.

Because Tuesday was a real test.

First she managed to break her lovely bed while moving it ahead of a decorating project.

Then she burnt the family dinner.

And then her two-year-old daughter Amber decided to help out with the decorating and left a real impression in her wake.

Jenny, from Newtownabbey, said: "It was just one of those days. I couldn't believe it. Amber was covered in paint and standing in the bath telling me she had been decorating for me.

"When I got over the shock I just had to laugh - but then I broke the mop bucket while I was cleaning up.

"So I'm hoping Wednesday will be a bit easier - and with less paint."
