I want to go to bed but just remembered I haven't put the bedding on. Why did I not do it earlier 🥹

Just sleep in it unmade. Guilty pleasure.

Oh god no...

How did you train him to (1) see a job that needs doing and (b) do the job that needs doing?

Is he available to train my DH?

He’s a good boy isn’t yet under the influence of teenage hormones!

Trained him to do his own when he had a cabin bed and he saw mine needed doing as he wanted to watch my before bed!

Fully expect this to be a one off nice surprise rather a regular job but definitely appreciated

Luckily my doggie reminds me if the bed is unmade. She comes downstairs looking sad and then guides me upstairs to make her bed 😂

Oh im so sorry. Horrible scenario. I feel your pain.

I like the occasional sleep on the sofa so that would do me.

Or, put the fitted sheet in and sleep in your dressing gown.

Synthetic… No such thing w (goose) down

I have one, and have been known to sleep without a cover, never noticed it! I shall keep an eye out.

Ha! I changed my bed today, and actually finished the job! Usually I go upstairs to bed and find I still have to put the duvet cover on.

hexsnidgett · 17/07/2025 12:16

My bed is only unmade for a minute or two. Are you all washing and drying on the same day and putting the same ones back on?Confused

No. But I might stop to, perhaps, go downstairs to put the bedding I've just taken off in the washing machine, then get sidetracked into doing something else and forget I didn't finish making the bed.

Or just think 'bored with this now' and go off and do something else.

I think it's just too much bed-related work in one go!
I usually strip the bed when I want to get a load of washing on. Then I get on with whatever else I need to do that day.
I also use changing the linen day to air the mattress, pillows and duvet.

Beds and dishwashers have always been DH's province. And I love him for it!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 17/07/2025 21:12

I’ve done that, just couldn’t be bothered to do it so late - slept on the mattress cover and under the naked duvet. Funnily enough I wasn’t struck down with an apocalyptic disease next day.

Yep this. That's what I do if I forget to make it. I mean what's gonna happen if you sleep on the directly on the mattress for one night?

PoxyAndIKnowIt · 17/07/2025 21:21

I have cried over this before.

How do you wash and dry those though? Doesn’t it take ages?

They're warm but thin and light weight. One double duvet fits in my machine, it's on the line and dry within an hour! So good. We all have one now.

@alexalisten I read the title and actually felt the sinking feeling of realising the bedding hasn’t been put back on 🥲

My least favourite job!

Me too!
