Colour run, run off one’s feet
Hi,
1)”My dad has been run off his feet watering garden vegetables.”
Could I use ‘run off his feet’ instead of ‘busy’?
2)I accidentally put a white top in the washer together with coloured clothes.
“The colour from the other clothes ran onto the top/stained the top/dyed the top/bled onto the top.”
Are all the options mentioned above possible?
Thank you.
