Who irons duvet covers????

[Myheadmyworld]

Good housekeeping? Ha! What's that? Thought I'd treat dh tonight to kick off long weekend and he was bummed he has to work late tonight. Cooked dinner, have my hair up in rollers, cleaned the house, bought wine, sexy lingerie....then I changed the bed sheets :s brand new expensive sheets and they were all crumpled after their first wash so I decided to iron them while they were ON the duvet. Long story short my cheap duvet has now melted into expensive sheets. Tried to pull at it to separate it and now duvet has big loose clumps rolling around in the covers somewhere :s have no idea how to hide my little crime and dh gets home in an hour.... there goes my sexy little evening plan :s

My cleaner does...... [prepares self for flaming]

No-one in their right mind afaic.

Good luck

Lifes too short to iron anything duvets!! Have you time to pop to a late opening supermarket and buy a cheap duvet?

If not just fold the duvet down at the bottom of the bed and neither of you should notice

I do - and smugly I iron them when they are OFF the duvet...

I do. Have had cleaner ironed duvets for years living overseas. Now back in UK and can't put them on unironed but am having to do myself these days.

Never thought to iron on duvet though!!!

No one who has any sense.

My gran does!
And underwear!

I am puzzled

You tried to iron the duvet cover whilst it was on the duvet, is that right?

You're mental, girl :)

People with too much time

Like the name SamBrick

I used to but seriously a king size bed...no wait super king size duvet covers DHs idea I gave up after I had DTs! I have limited time on my hands and ironing duvets is not on my short list! :o

Nearly forgot um then bums

I iron the cotton ones, the polycotton ones can whistle.

I do! They sit so beautifully once they're ironed, all nice pointy corners...

Me. Always.

well not me personally but you know...I pay someone else to do it.

I did for a bit when we were first trying to sell our house. Took forever, and still looked shit when I put the duvets in. Now I merely try to pull duvet (in cover) taut and tuck it under the mattress - smooths the creases out a bit. Or I added shitloads of cushions so you couldn't see the crumpled mess underneath.

No one wants to buy our house though so efforts entirely wasted!

My MIL

Have lumps of melted polyester filling actually permanently fused with your sheets? Second the high speed dash to late opening big supermarket for replacements.
And if your OH is anything like mine, he will find it hysterically funny.
As I do.

I only iron duvet covers whilst in labour.

I dont know what gets into me.

Only if guests are staying.

I do. But not mine - only the ones I get paid to do!

I do, but without the duvets inside them!
