Am debating whether I can justify buying a new one each!

We might have a couple of spares tucked away in a cupboard, but basically we just have one set each that we use. They get washed, dried and put back on the same day.

Two each and sad to say DD2 has DD1's old ones but they were really expensive Laura Ashley ones and were worth every penny as they still look really good after 8 years DD1 wanted new ones for her birthday last year so I splashed out on some more Laura Ashley.

DH and I have 2 sets, 1 from laura Ashley and 1 from John Lewis, could really do with new ones but can never decide on a colour. Our room has huge windows and the previous owners left the beautiful curtains but they are a hard colour to match anything with!

Hmmm now thinking about bed linen shopping!!! Dh will be so pleased!

We each have 2. But about 1000 pillow cases for some reason.

We have 2.
DD has 3 - plus a single set for the spare bed.
(We have 2 sets of doubles for the spare bed, too, but our bed is king size so it'd be a squeeze!)

DH and I have two sets in use, plus two spare sets for times such as illness and washing gets backed up.

the children, after having sets for birthdays, xmas, for new decor, plus holiday sets (ie, when we go to the PILs caravan)...........erm......about 7 sets each.

oh, and we have two sets of doubles for when people stay over.

We have 3 that we use, and a spare one tucked away at the back, which we put on teh bed when DH insists his mother has to sleep in it.
DS1 has4, DS2 has 5, but of the five, one is Buzz Lightyear and 1 is scooby, which he is a bit old for now I think, he doesn't mind though

One duvet set each, although I have more sheets for DD's cot and DS's bed in case they wet themselves in the night.

Two, one on, one in the wash! Postman Pat and Thomas the Tank. Bless, he's only little!

Two duvet covers/pillowcase sets for boys, and a third sheet. They share a bed so that keeps the numbers down. No doubt some day they won't and I'll have to buy more.

I discovered I had too many sets a while ago, so now have two duvet covers in active use to wear them out before going back to the cupboard to wear out the next lot! I have three sheets but one of them is still in the packet.

I have two sets for the spare bed which is a different size.

2 don't really know what you would want more?

the children all have 2 each, and we have 2 in use. I think there are old duvet covers etc hidden around the house too, but these aren't used.

At least 6 for us, (one nice sripey Ikea one now rigged up as a "curtain" to darken DD's room more doesn't count), plus 3 for DD and 2 sleeping bags for DS. We have to line-dry linen or hang over doors in wet weather, so we need tonnes of linen, plus I had a tendancy to like buying stuff before I had kids, building up my own trousseau I guess.....
