I have just learnt how to fold a fitted sheet

[TitchyWitch]

Thanks to this topic on Mumsnet I am starting to get my house in order (Flylady). I think I might be a bit obsessed though. I have just watched this and am so excited. Have I lost it completely??

He seems a bit of a PITA, a bit too fussy, but at least it's another of life's little mysteries solved.

My dch showed me the T-shirt one. It's brilliant & v. impresive once you get the hang of it.

christmasmum the sheets ina pillowcase is, as you say, genius. and yes, I second your last thought there. I should now be having 'quality time' with my dch, newly back from school...

I do the stuff inside a pillowcase thing too after reading it on a how to survive a larger family thread

I do the fitted sheet thing but standing up with my left hand in the corner of the sheet and it drapes up my arm toward my shoulder. I only lay it on a bed to do the final folding, all the corner tucking is done whilst standing.

I do it so fast, I had to slow it down so my Mum could see how I did it

I fold duvet covers up and put the folded pillowcases inside (not inside the cover just inside the last folding) so it comes out as one bundle.

I also do that fast t shirt fold but it means the arm of the t shirt is underneath so can get messy when DH roots through his pile to find a specific t shirt.

I actually enjoy folding. I am definitely anal, I even fold my dishcloths a particular way. I am Monica from Friends.

Confession: I have been known to re-fold the towels when DH has put them away, I like them all folded the same way so they look neat in the cupboard .

Am loving this. Will give my so much more space in my cupboard.

PMSL @ stillsquiffy - that has to be quote of the week.

"I fold duvet covers up and put the folded pillowcases inside (not inside the cover just inside the last folding) so it comes out as one bundle."

that's a brilliant idea: i spend ages looking for the matching pillowcases (which is why the bed usually ends up with completely different pillowcases on it)

good to know but takes him 10 minutes!

There is another clip on that youtube page for getting a car door open with a tennis ball.

I don't drive, we don't have a car, but it can't be that easy to get into a locked car, can it?

flower - apparently that clip is a fake according to another clip

I learnt how to fold them recently but I do it standing with the sheet hanging down (and a LOT quicker than him)
