    go and buy a few more chicken tikkas and drop them on the rest of the carpet. Matching carpet all round then

    (or short term rearrange the furniture and say you fancied a change to buy you some more time)

    Not overly useful but I had to explain why I laughed so loud to my OH.

    Give your OH a link to here if she wants to divorce u when she gets home.., we'll tell her to shave half your head while you'r asleep will make her feel a lot better and far less expensive than divorce :P

    Otherwise the useful suggestions have already been made. However if I was going to use bleach on a carpet, weak solution or not I'd find a normally hidden area and try a very small spot test first. Bleach can be very good.., but just occasionally can stain or turn something yellow, u (or at least I) can't predict when that's going to happen.

    Thanks all, in the end I used the steamer again. It is hardly noticeable now... To me anyway. We'll see when she gets in but either way I doubt i'll be in for action tonight. lol

    Glad you got most of it out. its sometimes a good idea to tell the truth about your stupid mate and admit the stain is there. Women have a way of noticing it, this is mainly down to men having rubbish pokerfaces when they know they could be getting their backside kicked at any moment!

    If you have to not mention it (i probably wouldnt but im a very good liar :A) then dont be too affectionate, no more than you would be normally on her return. Dont buy her anything. Infact the first thing you should do is fart infront of her, ask her when dinners ready and then grab a beer from the fridge - she wont suspect anything!
