OMG, Hubby is going to kill me when he gets in. I have let a cigarette burn in the ashtray and it has dropped onto the carpet and burnt a hole. I am normally SOoooo Careful. What am I going to do? Hubby has never smoked in his life. He is going to go absolutley up the wall. I could just sit and cry. I have moved the coffee table two inches so the leg is over it, he will probably not notice for months. But i know it is there. Please no shouting at me. I am worried enough. Jenny

oh no jenny im glad im not the only one who's done that lol cant you go and get some paint to match the carpet? if you paint the hole he'll never notice lol susie

Jenny, when my puppy scratched a hole, I got a pen the same colour to hide the backing then did as Maz said glued some pile on, 2 years later, its still not noticeable. Good luck, June xx

Thanks all. I really do feel terrible. Will try what you suggest. The ash tray was two inches away from our brand new leather suite. If ever it had dropped on there i would have had to pack my bags and run. Only been in this house 8 weeks and the new carpet and suite is our pride and joy. Not had a new suite for over 20 years. Jenny.

Mommy, it might be an incentive to give up the weed,! although stable door and horse come to mind........

Maz, What a clever idea, but I think you cannot hold your position as President with an answer like that LOL Bridget x

could have been worse, could have been the house burnt down...... Elaine (anti smoking as always lol)

you should start a new Thread "Houses hold tips" That was aBl**dy good one. I would of just X my fingers and hope She (love her) would not notice.

not notice what exactly Peter lol She

See it worked. you never saw the hole. OOPS!!!!! Not you XXX (<- Kisses) my misses. She worries so. But I love her loades

Oh dear :(( I did the same to my fav fleece jumper the other night - trying to type a reply to Postie Paul, and catapulted the ciggie out of the ashtray, down my front, onto the chair and then the floor :P Not nearly as bad as the time I was reading on here, not looking what I was doing and nearly 'stubbed out' on mum's one and only photo of her granddad :O

I hate the double wamme. Cig sticks to your lips fingers slid to end knocks end off in to lap. I do'nt know what to do first deal with me fingers or me Yea!

LOL Peter. I had an incident which has cured me of smoking in the car. Fella was driving, so I'm trying to flick thru the window wiv my left hand (I'm a righty). Got to the end and tried to flick dog-end out - wind blew it back in and it dropped down the side of my seat :O OMG did I panic - he hadnt had the car long and there I was nearly setting fire to it - lucky it was a quiet road so he pulled over - I had the door open before he'd even stopped LOL

I had a candel going on the coffee table the other day. Stupid dog had a funny five minutes (you know how they do) Knocked the candel over, wax every where on the dark green rug. Next morning it had dried and looked awful so got a load of kitchen roll and tried to iron it out, well it worked, but the pile melted under the hot iron. Now have a bare patch. Jo.
