Well it feels like that's what I'm trying to do,
every time I change the duvet cover :(

Is it just me or does it take everyone else half a day,
every ounce of patience, and then still come second, in the fight :shrug:

(Oh and we don't need the old joke about Granddad and the hair spray either :p)
 
You're doing it wrong,

I can change one in 2 minutes.

:)
 
Photo's we need photo's.

One would have thought a snake would find it easy to put worm back in a hole
 
Marc has the doing of it. Even last year I could do it until about August. If you can do it over the landing bannisters, you can give it a good shake and get the cover almost all the way to the bottom. Of course it is much easier to leave it to my wife, although I do try to be as much help as possible now I am able!

Thanks for that Nod,:thumbs:
Now, any tips for the duvet cover?
 
First practice with putting a pillowcase on then work your way up - Remember now dont try and run before you can walk....:thumbs:
 
Hire a maid to do it.:thumbs::)
 
How does anyone take more than a few mins to do this?

I can't be arsed with too much faff. I will do it one of two ways:

1. lay duvet out on bed. Hold duvet cover in hands and roll it up (a bit like a sock), then roll it down over duvet.
2. (as above), turn inside out, match two corners and then roll over. This takes longer than the first method.

:wave: :D

Trouble with most of these methods are, that my arms just aren't long enough
to span the cover :p

Maybe I should have mentioned that its a "super-king sized" ?
 
I also find it a very painful experience, it's quite stressful listening to her struggling with an uncooperative duvet....but...fear not... as I often offer vocal support

Thanks for not disappointing me :thumbs:
 
I'll tell 'em you said it was OK then :thumbs:
I'm sure they won't mind in that case :)
 
Getting a duvet cover on is an intelligence test. You've failed ;)

I'd rather you didn't bare me in mind though! :eek:
 
Not the crossing out that was the problem! :D

.....it was the bare (as in naked) rather than the bear it should have been........:p
