uncle is staying over in our spare room tonight. he called and asked as its a five hour drive home & he wasn't expecting to need to stay over. only have an hours warning and the place is a tip & i have a 3 month old ds.

have limited time to blitz the place & have just realised that DP's mum stayed in the room 2 weeks ago for 1 night. is it really bad if i just air the sheets a bit? he's a workman and his place is a pig sty. he only ever has clean sheets if my mum does them. plus it means i'll have 2 lots of sheets to wash. and i don't have a tumble dryer and no where to dry them as we live in a balcony-less flat!

he's taking me dp & ds for food a a thank you so i feel guilty. i wouldn't want to sleep in someone elses sheets!

(btw, i'm breastfeeding DS as I type, so i couldn't of changed them in the time it took to type this!)

I would usually say clean sheets but as it's been dropped on you at the last minute and you don't have a tumble drier you don't have much choice. I would rather sleep on pre slept on sheets than damp sheets.

God don't febreeze them, if I stayed somewhere and the bedding stunk of febreeze I'd think they must be really dirty!

Definitely don't Febreeze them with the lavender one. The smell of musty bedding would be preferable.

If you are breastfeeding a 3mo, then you must have dessert.

You should also have your DP's dessert.

Do you have a spare set of sheets? Or do you need to strip what's on the bed, wash it, then get it dry?

I guess you can't really change them if it's the second scenario.

If it's the first, and you do have clean sheets but can't be bothered to put them on then I am going to go against the grain and say YABU.
