To be shocked to read on another thread that....

...... People don't change their bed sheets for 2-3 months?

I can't believe it. I change all ours weekly, not least because there is nothing quite like getting into a fresh bed.

But 2-3 months without clean sheets? Surely not????

DH suffers from 'neck odour' and his side of the duvet will really ming if you leave it too long so ours are changed very 10 days or so.

However I do wear clothes more than once so I am now paranoid that I smell funny and nobody has told me.

Thanks size6.

Actually its the word pop

I do three washes a day

No popping about it

It's so shake n bac

Just pop in the oven and it's ready in no time

Just pop the kettle on Appletrees, and have a relaxing cuppa

For God's Sale! Have you listened to yourselves??
You are arguing about bed sheets! Like anyone is going to give a shit how often you change your sodding sheets! I meet hundreds of people every day, and I almost never think 'oh you smell' and never 'oh you smell you must never change your sheets!'
I know that I'm a queen of the silly mumsnet threads, but you really need to get lives!

IMO that is completely disgusting!

I change mine once a week.

If the weather is really shitty and I can't get it all washed and dried I take off the sheet on the bed and give that a wash and wash the duvet cover the week after.

The person on the other thead is a minger!

Who is it on here who has clean sheets every day in summer???? I remember this discussion from earlier in the year!

Every week to 10 days, depending how busy we are, but never ever longer than a fortnight, even at that point I am seriously hating getting into bed.

"Bum crumbs" actually make a bit of sick rise in my throat.

Who can ever forget the immortal 'poo crumbs' thread?

appletrees I too hate the word "pop" used in that context. it's in the same league as "it's a no no" and "in a heartbeat" for me.

I totally completely irrationally find them all really irritating.

I have a new rule of thumb: I change the sheets whenever there is a thread on MN where someone says they iron their bedsheets.

Oh god, I shudder at "in a heartbeat" as well. Sounds so twee, somehow.

I agree - I have never knowly "popped" something in anywhere.

Ugh this thread is grim.

I can't believe some people don't change their bedding for many weeks - they might not think they smell but I bet they do.

I don't subscribe to the 'change your sheets every Monday at 0927' school of cleanliness but there has to be a middle ground.

The argument 'but I'm not sweaty' doesn't really wash (geddit?) here either - all humans perspire even at rest, and shed skin and hair as well as secreting sebum onto the skin which will rub off on clothes and sheets. Why anyone would want to lie in that for months is beyond me.

Usual I will pop off and do just that

Lie down ha

"In a heartbeat"?? Sorry, is that a saying? What does it mean? Am being thick - thinking it means "I'll do it quickly" but it doesn't make any sense at all.

Are these along the same lines as "window of opportunity" and "Pencil me in" and "do lunch"?? Cringeworthy crapisms??
