I have discovered - not quite a loo brush thread!!

durhamjen I don't really think its acceptable! I just CBA to change them every week.

Someone on here once said that they changed their sheets daily. I can't remember who, sorry. It was just after someone else had said how pleasant it was to get into a bed with fresh sheets.

At the time I wondered where they hung all those sheets to dry, (or was the tumble-dryer on non-stop) and whether they also ironed them.

Then I realised that it is not always necessary to take everything posted on the forum as absolute literal truth.

Errrr, who mentioned changing beds weekly - not me! I just said the it happened last week, which could be only the first time I changed the bed since Christmas (not saying which Christmas) Having made my discovery, I can change the bed even less often now!!

I have quoted Quentin Crisp on here before when he said that after 3 years (I think) the dust doesn't get any worse!!

That was a discussion on Radio Newcastle this morning. Some people thought it acceptable to change the bedding every two months, Nellie, so do not worry.

Oh dear! Are you meant to change them weekly!

I always knew there must be a reason for not doing chores too often. Thanks, Jess.

Seven minutes have passed. Shamed myself into doing the deed. Just reflecting on another lesson of life is that if you wait until a cleaning job really needs doing then it is so much more satisfying because you can see the difference How cool is that?

Moved into the flat in August. Ironing board been out once. (are you impressed!) Have just disentangled cylinder Dyson from walking pole and left it blocking the hall like a reproachful, stranded plesiosaur. Am telling myself that the exercise will be good for me (but but but, I just went for a lovely walk... including a hill and I will do my exercises before making tea, honest...) Have discovered (after having a cleaner for 10 years), that carpets do eventually get to look grubby if you don't clean them for a month or so...
Wondering if act of god might strike me down for flying in the face of nature re a woman's domestic duties?

Perhaps the knock to the head will work wonders for him, I shall certainly volunteer to do the same for the rest of UKIP if they think it will help to clarify their policies.Now, 'just line up, people, you know this is good for you' etc.

Definitely UKIP. Farage has been in trouble for claiming that mothers are worth less than men to the City because they take time off for ironing their pillowcases - sorry, for having kids. He thinks that young able women who are prepared to sacrifice the family life - i.e. ironing the pillowcases - and stick with their careers do as well as, if not better than, men.
How many votes do you think that lost him?
That was before he was hit over the head by an animal rights protester.

Damn, I should have remembered that UKIP are the ones involved in the ifgaypeopledon'tcleanbehindthefridgewearealldoomed campaign.

GRRRRRR.... Phoenix you have found us out, we must have a spy in our midst! But it's a pact between Stepford Wives and the OCD ironing club so you were only half right.

I was in Lidl at the weekend and bought a cordless iron for £14.00!

It's revolutionised my life. I've taken up ironing! And started with pillowcases of course

I'm wearing something to work today that I haven't worn for almost a year because it needed ironing. So my colleagues have been saying "Is that new?" Another reason not to iron things all the time ROTFL.

No, janerowena that is just malicious propaganda put about by a recently formed front line alliance pact between the Stepford Wives and UKIP.

Oh dear, are you meant to iron them?

Kitty I always change the pillowcases halfway through the week, it's much nicer and fresher [stands to reason really, since we have our heads/faces on them] I also change the pillowcases a lot more than that if one of us has a cold.
