That I haven’t made my bed and now I have to lie in it

[isittooearlyforgin]

Husband has taken sheets off bed. Must now remake bed but instead of which I am drinking a glass of red wine while watching my first ever Line of Duty. Can I really enjoy knowing the climbing inside duvet mountain ahead of me...

It’s too hot for a duvet, just use the cover

Yes, that is a thing isn’t it. Very reasonable!

He who stripped the bed must make the bed.

It’s an ancient rule. If you don’t abide by it you get a curs-ed eye looking at you and your duvet turns to ACTUAL STONE 😱

I definitely thought you were going to say you didn’t have to make your bed because you’d just been lying on the top of the duvet all week.

I thought this was going to be something metaphorical! Drink wine, relax, sleep without a duvet!

@SmileEachDay yes I believe that with all my soul.
@73Sunglasslover if only I had the mental inclination or ability to be metaphorical

Turn off your phone.

Stop thinking about the bed.

You have a lot of LoD to concentrate on

It’s very good isn’t it!

Pause the TV show! Make the bed, then enjoy sofa/TV time...

Love line of duty. Yabvu to miss a moment especially to make a bed, it only needs a sheet, way too hot for duvet... just use the cover

Ah I love line of duty!

Then again. In your shoes I'd find it hard to resist drinking the wine...

We binge watched LoD. Saw all 5 series in 2 weeks.

I’m jealous. I wish I could start line of duty for the first time ever, again.

The only time my rational, calm and lovely husband shows annoyance is when I have stripped the bed and NOT told him. (Oh and if I don't put my receipts in THE BOOK.)

Plus He Who Strips Bed Makes Bed. It's the Law.

Go put the sheet and pillow case on. That's the easy bit - it's too hot for a duvet, so just use the cover as a sheet. There's nothing worse than cleaning your teeth, locking the house up, all the rest of it, then being faced with a bare mattress.

You don't have to climb inside it.
Turn duvet cover inside out.
Insert arms all the way into it and grasp a corner in each hand (so you're holding the top corners of the cover).
Through the cover, grab hold of the top corners of the duvet.
Shake the duvet cover over the duvet until it is mostly back to being the right side out.
Then you can let go of the top of it and pull the bottom of the cover down and do up the buttons or poppers or whatever so the duvet is fully enclosed.
Give it one last shake to flatten/even it out and you're done.

Apologies if you already do this and I'm trying to teach granny how to suck eggs!

First series was the best, in my opinion. Lenny James!!! All of them are brilliant though.

This was me yesterday! Needed a shower after.

@poppins2016 it was the kick up the arse I needed. Am exhausted!
Thanks for advice @ beautyqueenfrommars will follow next time!

I couldn't relax until it's sorted. Sorry OP

Whoever strips my bed, I have to.make it even if I'm feeling poorly, because otherwise the duvets end up upside down or all screwy inside the covers and it sets off my CDO. I'm not joking. I even have "bottom" written in biro on the bottom of the duvet because my OH will put it in any which way, otherwise.

I striped the bed, washed everything and put it back on today (because we only have one set). By the time I got the duvet into the cover I was a sweaty, dripping blob. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Just lie on top OP.

A duvet in this heat?
Even a duvet cover (two layers) is too much.
If you are of the can't sleep without some cover at all, all you need is a single sheet on top.

What are you people? Heat seeking missiles?
