...to change the bedding once a week?

[playdotcom]

Do you think that's adequate? New partner says his ExDW changed it every 2-3 days. Now as far as I know they weren't bonking like mad (or so he told me!) so I don't see the need for that frequency! He's started staying over at mines on weekends, usually a Saturday but this week he stayed on Friday so the same sheets were on since the previous Sat iyswim. Also, we hadn't had sex in the bed the last time he was here (tmi?). I would normally change them on a Saturday morning as I work full time mon-fri. I'm actually feeling a bit about him comparing my cleanliness to ExDW as she didn't work. Anyway, I'm ranting. How often do you change your sheets?

I change them when I think that they're dirty, usually every 2-3 weeks. Would change them if I've actually marked them think coffe spillage, time of the month etc.

I don't really see why you need to change the sheets after sex either you mut be making one hell of a mess.

I usually change them about once a fortnight.

More often if we've been extra sweaty or if they've got dirty.

And if DH complained about them not being changed more frequently, I'd tell him that he knows where the clean bedding and washing machine are, so he can do it himself.

I would love to have clean sheets every 2-3 days but it really isn't practical to change bedding that often. I would like to say i do it once a week but more often than not it is nearer 2 weeks.

I would leave the bed unchanged for a few weeks just to annoy him if I were you

When I?m on my own it?s every 2-3 weeks depending on freshness, but if I?m spending weekends with BF I change them weekly.

I change my (very expensive, 200 thread count Egyptian cotton) bedding every Tuesday. I love getting into a clean fresh bed. I do iron it, don't know why because 10 seconds in it and it's all crumpled. But I like it ironed.

My partner hates bed change day and doesn't stop over on Tuesday nights, there will be no shenanigans in my lovely clean bed! That usually lasts until about Thursday!

Next question - do you make your bed every morning? I do on days that I don't work but the rest of the week it's a crumpled heap.

How can you NOT make a bed in the morning - it takes seconds if you have a quilt which most people do!!

I have not read the thread, but tell him to fuck right off. Why is the silly bastard telling you what his wife used to do? This reminds me of XP telling me my yorkshire puddings were not as good as his mother's (disgusting) yorkshires. Actually it is 10 times worse. In any case, dump the snivelling bastards and tell him to change his own sheets.

Why do I always end up on a sheets thread? I must get a sixth sense alert.

Oh, and I change mine every day, not for any reason other than I like clean sheets.

It takes me 5 minutes a day. Don;t notice any extra on the electric or water bill.

Go on, change your sheets every day, it's bloody lovely getting into clean sheets every night, all snuggly.

Once a week here.

Tell him that comparing your dometic habits to his ex wife's domestic habits is not the way to get your juices flowing.

GetOrf you change your sheets every day???

Are you in service in 1892? I'm exhausted just contemplating a daily change of sheets.

Fortnightly would be good

But I am with Getorf it takes a millisecond no longer than making a bed IMO.

Oh dear, I feel extremely slovenly right now reading of all you MNers changing your sheets so often. I'm not revealing how little often I change ours

I never make my bed, I don't see the point really.

It takes 5 minutes to change sheets - it is not that tiring, honest guv.

Take them off in the morning and put them in the laundry bin. Then before I go to bed put on one bottom sheet, 4 pillowcases and a duvet cover. I don't have woolen eiderdowns or something. It's a piece of piss. Takes longer to wait for the kettle to boil and make a cup of tea.

And yes it adds to the laundry but it is only the matter of putting it in a washing machine and pressing a button, and then hanging/tumble drying afterwards. Do all you lot who say that it is exhausting have twin tubs and linen sheets which need to go through the mangle?

And yes, I work FT.

Eh !! sheets can be changed? I never knew

I am a lazy git with lots of other things. I don't cook every day. I never bake cakes or shite like that. I refuse to do any gardening.

I think different people have different priorities, doesn't make anyone wrong or right.

How do you get a duvet cover on quickly? It takes me about 20 minutes and I have to climb inside.

It's all in the wrist action, limited.

You don't climb in inside.

Have your duvet cover inside out.

Then, put your hands inside the duvet and grab the bottom 2 corners. Then gran the duvet itself. Then flick the duvet so it ends up the right way round.

Wrist action.

Grab, not gran.

Once a week, unless illnesses! Think she must have been looking for things to do/bored to change them every 2 to 3 days. The days of ironing bedding have long gone too!

Aha! You get your Gran to change your sheets for you, she's allowed out of the cupboard once a day to perform this chore. Good thinking.

Oh I hate a crumpled sheet.
