    Every Sunday morning, cut my hair, change the bedsheets and clean the shower, takes about fifteen minutes all in.

    Depends whats been happening in the shower

    If I'm ironing them, I fold them and throw the iron over them like that.

    That makes sense.

    How often do I change the bed sheets?.....when I was single probably never....unless they were stuck to me in the morning.....
    Since herself took pity on me she likes them changed regularly......waste of washing powder if you ask me.

    Ok .... big argument in our family...

    To Iron bed sheets and duvet covers or not to Iron?

    Changing the bed is simple. Once a week and fresh laundered and IRONED sheets and duvet cover.

    What's an iron ?
    Life way too short for that business

    I fcking hate hanging up clothes to dry and also folding and putting them away.

    I also hate taking the fcking shopping out of the car.

    You'd want sort out that **** and take control of your house.

    3 times a week

    You must be really dirty

    The biggest issue I have is the tumble dryer (which has reverse and is very high spec) rolls fitted sheets into a ball and ends up taking hours to dry them.

    It’s not expensive to run (heat pump) but it’s when you come back to discover 2 hours later the fitted sheet is like a football and only the outer layers are dry.

    It’s awfully lazy. Imagine going to work and paying taxes on your earnings, only to pay someone to change your bedding for you, as an able bodied adult. Absolute laziness really.

    Each to their own - all comes down to what you want to spend your money on.

    Absolutely.

    I’d be embarrassed to ask someone to basically ‘make my bed’ for me. I’d feel like a dope going to work so I could then actually pay them to do it.

    I hardly got married to have to do them myself

    Build a bridge - your opinion is clear (for the record getting a cleaner in do stuff like changing sheets seems pretty popular if the problem in trying to get one was anything to go by).

    You may 'feel like dope' doing it...move on.

    Ironed?? No way, washed and dried should be enough for anybody :)

    I do. The odd time I'll let the duvet cover go another week. Sometimes change the sheets twice in one week if I ate something in bed and there's crumbs.

    Oh no. Eating in the bed, wouldn't like that at all at all!

    Changing sheets is a piece of p1ss compared to the unbridled evil of the big pile of ironing.

    Changed my bed sheets today. :)

    I change the bedclothes about once a week/10 days. Been doing so since I was 16 years of age. My late dad taught me all the tricks and short cuts to make this chore easier.

    Love getting into bed with fresh, clean sheets! :)

    Which Christmas ?

    Once a week, love the feeling of clean sheets. It’s such a chore though


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭RiseToMe


    All fresh bedding all round every Sunday here but also every morning fold duvets right back to the bottom of the bed, shake out the sheets, open the windows and let the bed breathe for the day.

    The idea of sleeping in a bed all night and then getting up and making it ie.closing in all your dead skin and general warmness makes me shudder. Breathing ground for all sorts.

    Just reminded me , its a job I've meant to do :(

    Yes, this.

    It's probably most as breeding groundy when folded back and aired out, but in my mind it's better!

    Another reason this time of year onwards is great is ability to hang sheets out online and get the wind blowing through them.

    I change mine twice a week due to having a dog who loves his comforts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,535 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    I skip the duvet. Problem solved. A sheet is enough.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭jimbobaloobob


    Once a week. I only hate it when i realise I stripped the bed in the morning and have let it air and only realising at that moment that I want to hop into bed.

    Always nice when you can share the bed with a lady, obviously you do ;) (b-o-d-y h-e-a-t)
