Oh dear rosieroe, I bet that felt horrible when you sat down on that wet mat..ugh. i find a little roll of bubblewrap in my bag is handy, it is light, rolls up small, and has the added fun of popping a bit when you sit on it grin

Thatbags, I have something like that I use as a kneeler in the garden. It is made of 4 seat pads encased in an old Next carrier bag. Very soft but it does issue a fart sound every time I kneel down on it. (Definitely the kneeler and not me!)

According to my husband I'm always doing daft things.......like marrying him? Lol!

I bought my brother in law a folding cushion which he carries to football matches and other venues, it is great for preventing cold and damp penetrating the clothing.

That looks very useful and comfy thatbags, and it would be super to take with you on longer walks. Though it would have taken some careful thought in my case - and if I'd thought about it at all I wouldn't have sat down on a soaking wet mat in the first instance.

It's usually this sheepskin effort with a waterproof back and sometimes it's a piece of packing from an insulated box.

Is it a black plastic "sit-upon-ery"? thatbags?

grin I live in a soggy boggy place so I tend to carry around a "sit-opun-ery".

Oh dear! I've blanked the daft things I know I've done (and said!) from my mind. Too painful to remember blush

This evening I thought I would go for a brisk walk before making tea. I had left my walking shoes in the car the previous day so went outside in my slippers and rather than go back indoors sat on the back door step to change into my trainers. It was only when I stood up that I realized my mistake. We have a coir mat on the top step (to stop our elderly dog slipping on the tiles) and there had been heavy rain the night before. Talk about soggy bottoms!! ? (Waddles off like Charlie Chaplin)
