I'd love to help but as soon as I were to mention "it could be oil", she'll Know.
Such fastidiousness; she hasn't even taken her shoes or jacket off since returning. The Mark was spotted and full decontamination mode was entered.
Will post about CM later. Am off to offer glasses of wine and change the subject by talking about how warm the weather is for the time of year.

Let's hope she never sees urc (or the Google archive of same) then. -- This post contains no hidden meanings, no implications and certainly no hidden agendas so it should be taken at face value. The wrong words may be used this is due to my limitations with the English language .

Just don't spill the wine, especially if it's red!

that's easy; a bottle of white (easy but heartbreaking; white wine vinegar will suffice)
Ahem ... that information is highly relevant to the cleaning process and should not be withheld.
I agree...if your wife is attempting to remove a 'muddy' stain instead of an oily stain, she might be making the problem worse through using inappropriate cleaning materials. I have had to confess to similar misdemeanours in the past to prevent a temporary minor stain becoming a permanent major stain.
It is always easier to beg forgiveness than to seek permission (to fix oily dirty things in the living room). It got me a shed, it might get you a slapping ;-)

Objection, your honour. The defendant has the right to remain silent!
Except when dealing with a wife when silence is often interpreted as an indicator of guilt, denial is an indicator of guilt and confession is frowned upon as it denies aforementioned partner the satisfaction of seeing one squirm and engineer excuses, explanations and distractions.

He can always ask if the children might have trodden in some oil on the drive/road to maintain the pretence but impart the information.
How do you suppose the child got to the middle of the living room before putting their foot down, eh? Are you aware of anything that you haven't told me?
Best to say nothing. What's a ruined carpet when there's a chance that your favourite bike will end up in the skip?

Flipping 'eck, she's had *three* bottles of *cleaning fluid*??? She must be *really* [censored]. Well, I would be, you ever *tasted* the stuff in them??
Don't sleep tonight. Stay awake, stay vigilant. Lock the doors.

If you are the author of said spot, then why in hell is your _wife_ cleaning it up?

Er, because she chooses to?
Or, because she knows how?
Or, because I applied low cunning and avoided the chore?
Or, is this going to become a discussion about Feminism and the Role of Women? I never was very good at those.
Fortunately, the answer is (c) Low Cunning. As this thread and the anticeding thread relate.
