mat

I don’t have a bath mat at the moment despite three unsuccessful attempts to buy one. 
We took our old one out of the tub after our daughter’s day at the beach, rendering it sand-laden. 
That’s in addition to being mildewed. 
And to be accurate,
we haven’t gotten rid of it – we’ve just taken it out of the tub and it’s rolled up in the bathroom,
ready to be thrown away but also ready to be put back into action should
the urgent need for a bath mat arise before we get around to getting a new one.
