I can't remember when we last washed our bedding! Blush

I normally do it every other week on account of us wearing pjs, showering at least twice a day (and having very little sex!) but the past few weeks have been hectic and i really can't remember when they were last washed! Oh goodness how minging am i???

That reminds me . . . .

Don't bother to change the bed until you start getting bitten by bugs, it will be fine, a bit of dead skin cells and sweat and bacteria never hurt anyone Grin

I'm more shocked at you showering at least twice a day when you've not even had sex tbh. Perhaps losing the pyjamas would help in that department?

Soon be time to smother yourself in goose fat and stitch yourself into your underwear for the Winter anyway......Grin

LOL @AuntyFash!

AuntieMaggie - that's minging. Change them tomorrow!! (today!)

However, I used to do ski seasons, some of the staff wouldn't change their sheets the entire 6 month season..... bleurgh.

No idea either. Yet another of those housework jobs that can wait till tomorrow.

AuntieMaggie · 16/11/2011 08:34

LOL @ you lot :O

I'll get DP to change them today I promise...

I shower before work and after work most days due to a sweaty trek to and from work and if I go to a class in the evening after that too...

We are mingin in this house...sheets get changed the first night I get in them and think...hmm need to change the sheets! Be it 2 days...or 2 months!
(whispers my cleaner goes and gets clean linen and changes the kids sheets when she thinks I haven't done them for ages!!!!)
Why do sheets need cleaning until they are dirty.....

ChippingInNeedsSleep · 18/11/2011 00:19

Jendot - because you sweat (everyone does), shed skin cells, body oils etc in them everynight! Just because you can't see the dirt it doesn't mean they aren't dirty!!

AuntyMaggie - did DP you change them Grin

AuntieMaggie · 18/11/2011 12:44

No Blush but tomorrow I promise!

I was thinking this as I got into bed last night....

TBF it's hard to dry them atm Blush

Try a set of black sheets - THEN you'd know!!

I bought one once years ago, desperate for pure cotton sheets, and I chucked it after 2 days

But I do have very dry skin.
