Bought two new sofas (light coloured). Two days after the sofa arrived my mum accidentally tipped black tea down the cushion of the arm of one of the sofas. DH quickly had to strip the cover off and soak it in water. Slight stain left which we can see but anyone else wouldn't notice unless pointed out.
Two days later I noticed black marks on the new sofa where I had been sitting. Turns out that in the heat I apparently turn the gold plated wrist band of my watch black. I have then managed to wipe this all over the seat of the sofa. DH cleans the sofa with Dr Oitken and luckily a crisis is averted.
Fast forward to tonight and our new carpet was fitted earlier today. DM comes over to see the finished lounge and as I put a cup of tea (black again) on the coffee table I knocked it and poured black tea on our new carpet and scald my DM's foot 
DH quickly absorbs the tea using paper towel and has gently cleaned the carpet with a diluted carpet cleaner. He says he can still see a stain but I'm hoping it's his imagination!
I've come to bed now and said I'm not setting foot in that bloody lounge again!! It's jinxed.
