to want to gun down all apple munching boden wearing lower middle whatever class childminders

[findtheriver]

.. well yes of course it is, but....
This should really be on the Good Housekeeping thread but no one reads that unless they are saddoes and I need an answer quick.
I have a duvet cover which has a sort of double layer of fabric on the top, white cotton, with a sort of gauzy layer over it, not explaining very well, but it's actually a really nice one, Iron Bed Company linen, not any of your cheap as chips tesco crap.
Anyway I've taken it out of the tumble drier to put back on my duvet. But it has turned inside out and I cannot find a way in! I have tried for 15 minutes and now I'm in some kind or surreal duvet nightmare because my logic tells me there must be a way in but FFS where has it gone?? I'm shit tired and want to go to bed. Help me. Please. There must be a MN tip for wayward duvet covers.

Hi findtheriver

I'm sorry I can't help you, but thanks for giving a tired, exhausted and pretty fed up mum a good giggle imagining you trying to find a way into a duvet cover. I'm rooting for you. But it may be best to wait til the morning. Things are always clearer in the morning.

For the sweet love of Jesus will someone help me... I'm so frigging tired

scissors.

Don't tempt me nigella...

Try putting it back into the tumble drier with something else e.g towel for a bit. Towel will hide inside it and when you shake it out should fall right way out. Sounds nuts but used to work with my weird but nice duvet cover. Never washed it on its own

I can't help either but I am admiring the way you have lured people here under false pretenses(sp?).

So anyway - YDIBU (your duvet is being unreasonable)

Another useless one here, I have no earthly idea. But thanks for making me laugh.

Use a different duvet cover and leave that one for the morning. Take it into work and give a bottle of wine to whichever workmate manages to untangle it.

Jesus, leave it, and buy a new one tomorrow. (maybe get an idiot proof cheap Tesco one)

How the hell can you not 'get in'? This makes no sense. Lay it down flat. One end will open. Problem solved.

This strange..

I shall try that ephrinedaily. I shall pour myself a gin while it tumbles

Does it have a button closure? Feel around the seams until you find a button, then try and work out the opening from there. I suspect that it has somehow turned itself inside the gauzey layer.

DSM that's exactly my point. I laid it flat and nothing opened. I think the gauzy layer is up to all sorts of cunning trickery.

loving the cunning treachery with the title. I was getting ready to sit back and watch a fight.

Yes, feel round the seams until you find the buttons/poppers.

hah! it serves you right for having a fancy schmancy duvet cover while I have a second-hand donation.

I can't even understand the op, never mind help you

You only have one duvet cover?

You'd be better off with 2 cheap ones.

LOL, fancy duvet covers always end up being trouble. Many an unplanned BFP from fancy bedclothes

Callmeovercautious - tell me more.

I have two. Other one is in the dirty laundry basket. Too late to fish it out and put it back on now.... been mingling with DH's skiddy pants

I've met that childminer in my local cafe - she really does exist!

I find mens/boys swimming trunks do the same thing. They seem to turn themslves inside-out in an almost impossible seeming fashion!

Good luck...

Yeay!!!!
Success!!
Thank you all

Sleep well.

Buy a new duvet cover darling.

Next time, buy the 'cheap as chips tesco crap'
