Sorry Maw but you're being a bit U!

Given DH's physical problems, a 'bloody mat' is the last thing he needs - not his fault that you chose a pale gold carpet grin

I agree with grannylyn . Don't give in MawBroon.

I have a lovely, soft, fluffy rug at my side (so my feet feel all cosy when I get out of bed) but nothing at DH's side. I am sick to death of black sock fluff all over his side of the (cream) bedroom carpet. I also find it at the very bottom of the bed. Grrr. He insists that it's not from him but....

a) I don't wear black socks (he does)
b) He is over 6ft and his toes reach the bottom of the bed, mine don't.
c) I NEVER get into his side of the bed. So don't even stand on that bit of carpet.

DH has just gone ballistic because he "nearly" (according to,him) tripped over "that bloody mat" I.e.a (washable) bedside rug. Not thick, not sticky up , but there for a variety of reasons not least being a pale gold bedroom carpet (my stupid idea) and that because he can get sick in the night, a plastic washing up bowl is often kept beside the bed. When he was really poorly he had to sit on the edge of the bed to use a bottle. Nuff said.
Added to that, I had noticed that "his" side was getting grey just by the bed because it presumably gets more "footfall". He always wears felt Birkenstocks as slippers in the house, never outdoor shoes but even so.
AIBU to think it is a good idea rather than have a grubby potentially stained carpet?
(I should add he often doesn't pick his feet up very well, so I bet that was part of it angry )
