If, like me, it takes you a huge amount of time to get yourself over the doorstep each morning, we may have found the answer.

Whether it's hair straightener paranoia or doing the dash-back-for-your-lunch-before-your-train-leaves dance slowing you down each morning, these novelty little numbers with firm but fair reminders should help you out.

So, take a look below and tell us - honestly! - which doormat do you need in your life? You can't all pick ‘pants, keys, dignity'. Sorry.

It's off. You know it's off. You even put it in that horrible heatproof bag. Doesn't stop you darting back in and up the stairs again and again though does it?
