De rigeur poolside Karen. :-D

I agree Hayley ;-) ;-)

Years ago when it was cotton sheets top and bottom, used to wash the bottom one every week and move the top one to the bottom - boiled them up in my electric boiler

nowadays, I'm on my tod so wash the pillow cases, sheet and duvet cover weekly although of course I only sleep on the one side of the bed - spose I could move over for a week but then I'd be too far from the bedside table and the light

2 day pants!!! :-0 :-0

That reminds me of a Pete and Dud sketch about paper knickers...... :-0

Just turn the sheet round and flip duvet over Ann lol - and do your bit for the environment at the same time ;-)

Yes Ann, when first married and having thick cotton sheets I admit to doing the same, top to bottom and wash one sheet a week, no washing machine just a Burco boiler and hang on the line whatever the weather. That was pre fitted bottom sheets of course.

Paper knickers lol.
Rustle while you walk, rustle while you walk ;-)

I still use 2 sheets, but dont do the top bottom shift I used to on the prams when I had my babies, but when I strip the sheets and pillow cases weekly as I use a top sheet most times I get away with doing me quit cover once a fortnight if I am in the that sort of mood.

:-D

We always have a top sheet , so the duvet cover doesn't get washed weekly ..unless we get hot .

Thing is Hayley, back in the good old days when we had sheets and blankets, we changed the sheets but those blankets didn't get washed once a fortnight!
I reckon it's why we have so many bugs - we are all just way too clean ;-)

OOOOOoooooooooooo Sandie your making me blush ;-)

Yep and they was always army blankets as well...lolol we got dooovets in the early 70's we thought we were right posh, :-D but before that I remember me mam would have a week in summer when the each beds blankets were washed each day :-D

Top pillow cases and bottom sheet twice a week and the rest once a week,

Roy

I sleep alone in a double bed (no sympatheic 'aaa's' please, it was cheaper than getting a single bed and all the bedding!!)

I have top & bottom sheet, and wash those & duvet cover (plus of ocurse pillow cases and bolster cover (I have a 1940's bed, with sprung metal base, footboard, headboard, and gap between the headboard & base - hence the bolster) every week :-P

There is a reason - I have cats, one of which sleeps on my bed, nomatter how much you wash, cat hairs stick to the duvet cover, hence the top sheet. I sleep in my birthday suit, and the smallest bit of cat fur - I'll feel it.
As I have fitted bottom sheets, I don't like to put the top sheet on the bottom. I also have 'sets', so don't like to mess them up.

Me, a fussy mare? Naaaaa

Have to admit, I'm getting excited - I may be able to hang my (washed) sheets on the line this weekend - spring is coming :-D

Maggie - I too like sets of bed linen. OH occasionally gets them mixed up.
Other week he put a KS duvet in a double cover. This week in a spare room he has put a KS cover on a double duvet.

I have posted a list inside linen cupboard stating which colour goes in the 3 bedrooms! Also we have the KS bed - so a few weeks ago I bought new sheets in cream (did ask if he wanted flat or fitted as he moans about fitted when ironing) and that left white sheets for the other rooms.

The sheet system is working so far - wonder if the duvet list will work???

see you dont mix and match sets rules its t' rules, Maggie I love the smell of bedding when its been dried out doors its yummmy :-D

I don't know how often my straw and sawdust gets changed......

Andy ;-)

Forgot to say our bed chnaged weekly -if hot summer?? changed more.

Always reckoned knickers and sheets were better off for a good blow in fresh air.

:-D in my case Chris, makes a change from a ...well just good a blow :-D

I remember mum boiling the candy stripped flannette sheets everyweek in the copper,,,,,,in the end they had no pile on them,,,summer the blankets got washed in turn from each bed.,,,no tumbles then.......!

dont we have it easy :-D
