To ask how often you change your sheets.

I change my sheets every week. My OH said his Mother changed hers about every four weeks. Just wondered how often MNs change theirs.

Once a week

Bobbybobbins · 30/04/2018 17:49

Once a fortnight

Definitely once a week

DartfordBridge · 30/04/2018 17:50

Oh ffs not AGAIN! 😂

restingbemusedface · 30/04/2018 17:51

As frequently as someone asks this question on MN.

damekindness · 30/04/2018 17:51

Once a week on a Sunday (or BH Monday) - fresh sheets the night before it's back to work is a massive consolation prize

Hmm
BuggeringNora · 30/04/2018 17:53

When I think, "hmm, when did we last change the sheets?" If I can't remember, then it's probably time. Not something I can get remotely worked up about though.

SilverySurfer · 30/04/2018 17:53

Are you unreasonable to ask the question in AIBU when it has been asked a thousand times before where it belongs in Chat?

Yes.

DubaiismyBlackpool · 30/04/2018 17:53

Every 2 weeks - I know by Mumsnet standards that's slovenly.
My mum changed them monthly as did all our neighbors. I loved running down the street through everyone's sheets. I'm pretty sure the last time I saw washing out in the lane was about 20 years ago now.

SneakyGremlins · 30/04/2018 17:53

I had a thread about this recently, prepare for the hell that's about to descend OP! Grin

19lottie82 · 30/04/2018 17:54

Between once every 1-2 weeks.

I mean to do it once a week but life gets in the way!

Queenoftheblitz · 30/04/2018 17:55

I change my sheets and pillow cases twice a week. Duvet cover once a week. Cos I eat in bed.

Brazenhussy0 · 30/04/2018 17:55

Once a week.
Except in summer, then it's twice a week.

Less than that feels a bit gross, but we do have cats that like to sleep on the bed.

MollyDaydream · 30/04/2018 17:57

Once a fortnight.

eachtigertires · 30/04/2018 17:57

Once a week but when I was single once every two weeks.

sugaraddedlater · 30/04/2018 17:59

Once a week sometimes more in summer.

eachtigertires · 30/04/2018 18:00

Actually my friends and I had this conversation a couple of weeks ago. Apparently I am the odd one out since friend 1 does hers maybe twice a year and friend 2 does hers once a month. If I makes a difference friend 1 is early twenties and single and friend 2 is mid thirties and married.

duckingfisaster · 30/04/2018 18:00

Ha! I was going to say about as often as this subject comes up on Mumsnet too! although if I'm honest probably not

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 30/04/2018 18:00

Once a fortnight. And I sleep nude. Neither DP (who stays in them once a fortnight) nor I have died of squalor yet.

anniemagoo · 30/04/2018 18:05

I'm the same as buggeringnora. I mean to do it weekly but it's much longer than that. I love clean bedding but I hate changing the bed and washing it all so I keep putting it off.

Sorry for being so slovenly Blush

Gross.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 30/04/2018 18:08

As frequently as someone asks this question on MN. that would be at least weekly then?

Zintox · 30/04/2018 18:08

Never.

DH does them.
