I tried to watch a bit of the Brits but it's just too noisy, can't bear all that screaming . Had to turn it off. That makes me feel very old:o.

I am having a bit of a disaster as in a fit of pique I have thrown all my bedding out.:eek: I was going to replace it with some lovely bedding that I had tucked away and was saving for when I got my own house but I decided to get it out and use it, only to find it wasn't sealed properly and had a large stain from where it was stored on top of the wardrobe against the ceiling.:mad: I have washed it twice now and it has mostly disappeared, but it is pale bedding so still noticable. I will give it another go with some Vanish tomorrow, but if that doesn't work I will have to throw it out and I have no other bedding:eek:. Am sleeping under a pile of blankets tonight.

Once its washed it is to all intents and purposes clean can you not put it stain side down on the bed?

It's patterned on one side (the stained bit) and plain on the other, if I can't get the stain out I will just have to have the plain bit on top.:( I am not buying any more bedding. I am being frugal and making the best of what I have:D. Thankfully my Sainsburys order included 5 bottles of wine so one of them is currently softening the blow:)

Oh what a shame sarah

Have you tried asking over on Old Style for any tips on stain removing products. I'd never used stardrops until a fab MSE er gave me a bottle & it even removed pasta sauce stains from DDs school shirt after a coupel of washes.

Failing that ... you can have new bedding & I'll have some new boots - we can call it a truce eh ?

I tried some Stardrops but I didn't dare put too much on as I have read on OS about people doing that and coming home to a flooded kitchen. It has removed most of it, will have another go with Vanish and Stardrops tomorrow.

No boots!:p

You will fit in just fine - as long as you are a little bit mad too

:mad::mad::mad: to the bedding!

Hello & welcome trudij

- I think you qualify on all counts other than the growing up bit - we try to live in an eternal never never land here

sarah - ooh you're so strict, I do declare you're trying to get me out of debt more than I am myself :rotfl:

If the bedding is cotton or cotton mix, you could dye it, I had some that had faded & dyed it a while back & it's fine now.
