I HATE THAT!!! Grin

AintNobodyHereButUsChickens · 01/06/2020 23:05

You went up to bed and discovered that you forgot to make it! We do this ALL the time!

MistressGammon · 01/06/2020 23:05

Nothing worse Grin

Fanthorpe · 01/06/2020 23:06

The worst. I never learn.

lauryloo · 01/06/2020 23:06

Oh I hate this!

Barabajagal · 01/06/2020 23:07

Bollocks! We still need to make ours. And by ‘we’ I mean me.

ifeellikeanidiot · 01/06/2020 23:07

And you're so full of energy when you strip the bed...

Doyoumind · 01/06/2020 23:07

It's so hot. Just stick a fitted sheet on and you'll be fine with nothing else!

DramaAlpaca · 01/06/2020 23:08

Oh, the number of times I've done that! I never learn.

FeelinFagin · 01/06/2020 23:08

DH and I strip and remake at the same time. New covers go on as the others go in the washing basket. Isn't that the norm?

Dhalandchips · 01/06/2020 23:10

Aaargh me too!!

Stumpedasatree · 01/06/2020 23:11

Yes, same, it is never one of those jobs you remember. I wash my bedding, dry and put the same back on, albeit much later, and much resented!

Smallsteps88 · 01/06/2020 23:14

Every time! I do it every single time! I should set a reminder on my phone to remake the bed before 11pm. Grin

Awful - story of my life everytime without fail....

H1978 · 01/06/2020 23:23

It’s a pain, that’s why I remake the bed straight after I’ve taken the old covers off, otherwise I’d go to bed as it is because I switch off any housework by 8pm 😂

BinkySodPlop · 01/06/2020 23:25

I still haven't stuffed my duvet in the cover from last week! I did the bottom sheet and pillowcases, bit have been using just the cover on top. I'm a slattern. I will rewash tomorrow and make properly as the temps are due to fall again. Probably.

Smallsteps88 · 01/06/2020 23:29

It’s been too warm for duvets anyway!

Mines done now. I’m all snuggled up.

Nope. The bed and duvet get aired first, so it can't be made for a while.

We're better at remembering these days, however. Back in the day we'd forget every week!

ellabella18 · 01/06/2020 23:38

This is the worst, happens to us all the timeConfused

Babysharkdoodoodood · 01/06/2020 23:40

I strip bed and wash it. DH re-makes it. Easy

JaneJeffer · 01/06/2020 23:42

Grin it's an awful feeling

BlessYourCottonSocks · 01/06/2020 23:43

This is the main cause of argument for me and DH. He absolutely loathes making the bed at the best of times and is so grumpy when we discover it at bedtime.Wink

Smallsteps88 · 01/06/2020 23:47

Nope. The bed and duvet get aired first, so it can't be made for a while.

This is my logic too. I always tell myself “remember to remake that after dinner”. One day I’ll listen to myself.

Aha!! This is where I’m going wrong. I need a DH! Grin
