A Great Time Had By All!

Well nearly LOL! 
Dinner was lovely last night with our guests (my cousin & her husband), lasagne, salad & garlic ciabatta for those that wanted, followed by a mini pot of chocolate mousse. Five minutes into the meal, my DH accidently knocked over his FULL glass of red wine, you'd be amazed how far liquid can travel!!!!!! The cream wall, the cream suede chairs & the cream carpet!!!!!!!! 
Luckily the tablecloth soaked up a lot and luckily I had put a chair cover on the cream suede chair only 2 days earlier as it had one of the kiddywinks booster chairs on it! The wall I manged to get done before it soaked into the wallpaper but the cream carpet was another matter. We spent most of the first part of dinner with DH spot cleaning the worst off and after dinner he had to get the carpet shampooer out and clean the carpet properly.
The good news is that this morning when we came down for breakfast there was little evidence to show  of  the catastrophe, and as I'd put table cloth & covers in the wash last night, they were dried and back on the table by 10:00am
It wasn't worth getting stressed about it, these things happen, hopefully our guests didn't have a too disrupted dinner, but I'm sure they chatted about it when they retired to sleep last night LOL!

The dinner sounds delicious...and as you say....there's no point in stressing about the mishaps....at least you managed to get rid of the evidence!!
