    I have got an exciting life, I can't help if my exciting life doesn't happen to include making the bed, can I? :rotfl:

    Anyways, you mis read my post. I said I have BETTER things to do. I don't happen to think it's my top priority. I'm very pleased you take pride in making your bed but I don't. I'd rather spend 10 minutes making bread to eat than making the bed.

    What's the point anyways, you just get back into it and mess it up again. :cool:
    I guess some people just like to have their bed a certain way, each to their own really, and as long as partners can agree, does it matter if the rest of us don't ?
    It is possible to make bread and tidy your bed ;), but equally if you don't want to make it then don't!

    I love the feeling of nice straightened sheets . It helps my karma. I wouldn't be comfortable leaving my bed unmade. :confused: Like wearing odd socks, i would feel aware of it all day!:rotfl:

    I'm sure you could make bread in bed? Ok, being silly now.:p

    The sheets are straight, we only have fitted sheets :p

    I can see why people don't post much sometimes, gosh, you lot are demanding aren't you?

    FWIW, I work a full time job, currently have no kitchen, the house is full of falling plaster dust and commute 2.5 to 3 hours a day. Yes, I have better things to do with my time and no, I don't actually CARE if the bed is made. It doesn't bother me, so there :D:p :rotfl:

    I don't have to make to my bed! Great! I work day shift, other half works nights, so when i get up he's got to get into my crumbled up mess! He also makes it when he wakes, problem solved. Althrough he is still slightly scared about putting on a duvet cover to the duvet, says he can't do it:rolleyes:

    I fail to see how it could take ten minutes to make a bed! Even for the most fastidious! (Unless being made from scratch)

    I fluff my 2 Northern lights pillows, put my memory foam pillow on top in a certain way, straighten out duvet. Job done. 40 seconds?

    Then again, i hardly seem to move the duvet most nights in my sleep. I am a very light sleeper and wake frequently, but some nights you can barely tell I have been there? I digress anyway
    :rolleyes:

    I have a superking size bed, a heavy quilt, 2 pillows, a faux fur throw to be folded in half & placed on the bottom third of the bed & 6 cushions to go in a 3, 2, 1 formation (each with their own place).
    It takes me about 2 mins tops:D

    I wouldn't dream of dictating to people what they should do in their homes RE cooking, cleaning, etc.

    Neither would I judge people for what their standards are or aren't:rolleyes:
