    bedding question help please ladies.

    Im not sure how many duvets and pillows i need for the following set up! Im not sure what to keep and what to get rid of.

    Spare room: single bed that expands to bigger than kingsized

    Spare bed: double blow up mattress , i have a king sized feather bed that im keeping for this as the feather bed was expensive and wont fit on my new kingsize bed, so will go on top of the air bed to make it a bit more comfy for anyone sleeping on it.

    I have 2 double duvets and 2 king sized duvets and about a dozen pillows - some of which are past there best.

    Im thinking to keep the 2 king sized duvets and get rid of doubles and keep 6 pillows, do you think that will be enough?

    thanks

    I cleaned the cutlery drawer out and couldn't work out where everything went! I stood there for 5 minutes trying to remember which section the knives went in...

    Not got much done today and not had time to post but knew that the kitchen would take a couple of weeks to get into order. Going to get ready for work now so Take care talk tomorrow.

    I've got one of those too :( they show every speck of dust and fingerprint don't they. I can't blame DH though cos I chose it :o

    I've been putting off cleaning it cos DH says he needs to reorganise all the cables so I'm not taking everything off twice! Problem is he's never here :cool:

    Right, back from Mama Bear's with freshly dyed hair... looks very red in the light :D

    Never did get that ironing done yesterday so I think that's gonna be next, then I might see if I can bring myself to clean out my car :eek:

    seafarers_wife- that seems about right. We also tend to have far too much bedding - you have reminded me that I need to go through it all again
    Willow92 - lol......I hope you remembered eventually
    *zippy* - you have done so well today - I wish I could say the same about me

    Hi everyone!

    Just wanted to pop in and say hi, I have been kind of missing in action lately... :o

    Fly-ladying had gradually ground to a halt at mine, but myself and OH had a major blitz over the weekend and I will be recommencing the flylady way of life from now on! And I will also make sure I post regualarly as the support on here is brilliant, and certainly helps to keep me motivated.

    Hope everyone is keeping well
