She is mad.

I do it once a week (ish) in the summer, maybe nce a fortnight in winter.

Depends how stinky they are, really.

Bonsoir · 27/07/2010 08:21

Once a week.

overmydeadbody · 27/07/2010 08:22

In the summer once a week.

In the winter more like once a fortnight or longer...

Seona1973 · 27/07/2010 08:22

when they walk to the machine themselves

OhYouBadBadKitten · 27/07/2010 08:43

once a week.
our bottom sheet is very insistent. If I leave it any longer than a week it starts unravelling itself from around the edges of the bed. Rather clever of it, wish it could put itself back on too.

IMoveTheStars · 27/07/2010 08:45

Never. DP does it when he's sick of me ignoring them

Works about once a week

xkaylax · 27/07/2010 09:00

I do them about once a week.

llareggub · 27/07/2010 09:01

Once a week for us, sooner for the boys if they are particularly snotty.

mousymouse · 27/07/2010 09:04

every other week, alternating between kid*s one week and ours the next.

piratecat · 27/07/2010 09:06

prob about every 2 weeks, for lil ole me, thomore in the summer.

dd still having accidents at night so it depends on the situation each morning.

upahill · 27/07/2010 09:07

Every Sunday. However if we are going away I will do them the day we go so they are nice when we come back.

If I get chance I may do them on Wednesdays as well.

Also the golden rule in our house is that on the day they have been washed NOBODY is allowed into the bed until I have got in first and snuggled up. Only then can DH come in. Sometimes if I'm feeling mean I might linger on MN while he is waiting to go to bed. He'll be shouting 'Come on Upahill, I can't go to bed yet!!'

(Before anyone says anything it is a running joke that has gone on for 20 years not to be taken seriously!!)

MrsJohnDeere · 27/07/2010 09:18

Once a week. More often if a dog/child puts muddy or sticky paws/footprints on them.

Nettiespagetti · 27/07/2010 09:20

I try and do it once a week. Always manage kids but don't always manage mine

2kids2dogsandahorse · 27/07/2010 09:26

You are minging and she is mad

I do mine once a week.

foureleven · 27/07/2010 10:09

OutOutLetItAllOut · 27/07/2010 10:20

i suppose in the summer i might do it more, but in the winter, no hope ( no tumble)
on days like today, im regretting doing it at all. its sodding raining.

Every month, whether they need it or not!

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 27/07/2010 19:20

DH does the sheets - we aim for once a week, but it can be 10 days.
I love going to bed on a new sheets night

Scuttlebutter · 28/07/2010 10:50

A minimum of weekly, but sometimes more frequently if paw prints. Also, if we are having visitors and I'm making up beds in spare bedroom, will change ours as well, as part of the cleaning/tidying process. Would love to change them twice weekly but am too lazy not sufficiently organised.

Rumpel · 28/07/2010 10:57

Once a week to a fortnight - depends on what's been happening. You are not minging and she obviously has too much time on her hands!

EvaLongoria · 28/07/2010 10:58

I change mine minimum 2 times a week. If we had more action at night then I might change it again. I think it is just the way I grew up. My mom changed sheets twice a week all my life.
