    A tip I saw on one of Anthea's shows a few years ago was to have your duvet cover inside out before putting it on, grab both corners of the duvet with both corners of the cover and as the cover turns the right way in, the duvet goes in as well, it is so much easier, hope that makes sense, kinda hard to write it down to explain :rotfl:

    Thats how i do it, kinda thought thats how everyone did it:confused:

    T'wasn't me Jo

    Tag I feel your pain, I haven't ventured into littleys room since boxing day when she was in full fling mode, everything came out of everything, and it's still all on the floor :eek: scared to take her clean washing up as it'll just add to it and/or I'll break my neck.

    How is it that the smallest person in the house makes the most mess?:rolleyes:
    Mind you I'[ve stuck her TV on and whilst she's been helping me:rolleyes: I've been stealthily flinging!!;)

    Thats how i do it, kinda thought thats how everyone did it:confused:
    ....

    Me too, always have. Ikea even make ones with corner holes to put your hands through to make it easier.

    Huge hugs for you LL. I hope things work out the way you want them.

    I am not even dressed yet :o. DH has taken SSs to see Avatar and I am enjoying the (relative) silence. The littles are playing happily with the huge vehicle building lego set my mum kindly bought them.

    Sit on my bum watching the robin on the bird table or get on with something? Hmmmm.....

    Get dressed and get on it is. Need to get the DW empty, the WM on and do some ironing. The lists just goes on and on....
