I fit my pillows in, no probs, don't use as much washing powder though!
I also read that about letting your bed go cold by letting it "air" sounds sensible but I like everything to look nice so I make my bed as soon as I get out!0 -

Week 2: Swap over and sleep on right hand side of bed all week (as this bit is still clean.

To be honest, I couldn't care less about the dustmites, but what a fantastic excuse for not making the bed!
I do that! I pull the duvet back while I'm having breakfast, getting dressed etc, then make the bed just before I go out.Here I go again on my own....0 -
I was just wondering.
As a working mum of 3 I struggle to keep on top of the laundry and just wondered how others felt about this.0 -
Generally once a fortnight.
My twins still tend to get in the same bed together though . It seems pointless washing bedding that hasn't been slept on!!Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j0 -

My Mum set the precedent of changing the pillow cases once a week, the sheets once a fortnight. I tend to follow that where I can, although throughout the winter when drying them is so difficult (no tumble dryer here), they tend to get changed when they need it!
We all bath every day, so I don't think that's unreasonable.:hello: I'm very well, considering the state I'm in. :hello:Weight loss since 2 March 10 : 13lbs0 -
Once a fortnight, its a kingsize so fighting with the duvet cover more than that is no joke, especially if OH is 'trying' to help!!!!Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0
