to think he could have got out of bed

whilst reading in bed so that I could tuck my side of the undersheet in and not sleep on a ridges and creases all night. Apparently I should have realised earlier and I can do it tomorrow. He wriggled a bit but wouldn't actually get out so no help at all.

Aw it sounds a bit like princess and the pea. I hope you don't wake up with bruises.

In all seriousness though, is there a back story? How creased? Did he get into bed first?

Asuitablemum · 21/08/2016 22:11

You know when one corner of the undersheet gets untucked and the rest of it sort of springs it across the bed. Is it just me that this happens to?!

No no I hate that as well i couldn't sleep in the bed if it was like that

Fitted bottom sheets. Your relationship will never look back. Grin

Cheby · 21/08/2016 22:15

Fitted sheet? So the elasticised corner is now under where you are trying to sleep? YANBU. Jesus it takes 2 seconds to get up, fix sheet and get back in. It's not like it's freezing in mid winter or anything, and he was awake already. He sounds like a bit of dick.

I'd wait til he's asleep then slowly edge into the middle, pushing him right to the edge and steeling the entire duvet in the process.

Asuitablemum · 21/08/2016 22:16

Bit they are fitted ones. I think he must pull them over or something!

Have you got a deep mattress? We had to buy deep fitted sheets to stop them pinging off our mattress all the time.

Asuitablemum · 21/08/2016 22:19

Thanks cheby, that's exactly what I thought....Just unfortunately about my 'd'h not an Internet stranger's one haha! I untucked my whole side and pushed it to the middle so I don't have to sleep on it. Hopefully it will now annoy him instead or at least provide me a middle barrier Grin

You would not be unreasonable under those circumstances to stew until he was fast asleep until you explode...
Yank duvet off, flip lights on and yank corner of fitted sheet back.
He is a selfish arse HTH.

stayathomegardener · 21/08/2016 22:24

Then tomorrow sew thick elastic straps across the bottom of each corner. Sorted.

maras2 · 21/08/2016 22:29

DH manages to ruck up the fitted sheet every night so I get him to right it in the morning.Saves messing about at night.

SatsukiKusakabe · 21/08/2016 22:36

Ditto stayathomegardener's comment

MooPointCowsOpinion · 21/08/2016 22:38

Oh I see. Yes he needs to get up and let you ping the sheet back on.

Storminateapot · 21/08/2016 22:40

Argghhh! I can't sleep on a ruckled bottom sheet, that would be a LTB offence Grin

Mine always ping off too, although they are deep-mattress enabled. Sew elastic on? I'll be buying some tomorrow.

AnvilAnnie · 21/08/2016 22:44

Get flat sheets. problem solved.

RNBrie · 21/08/2016 22:50

If he was awake, he should have got up. If he was asleep then yabu.

OTheHugeManatee · 21/08/2016 22:53

Flat sheets. No more ping Smile

Asuitablemum · 21/08/2016 22:53

He was awake reading in bed!
