I could just imagine something like that happening in front of some of the people I know....It's not the pushing in, it's the ignorance of it. There would have been mayhem...
I'm with you there Manta. A woman was driving behind me with her fog lights on the other week. I couldn't look in my rear view as it blinded me. Funny that she noticed she had them on when she spotted a police car..!
Andyvon - my late mother used to pull blank pages out of paperbacks to make shopping lists. It would not have entered her mind that the other side of the sheet would be part of the novel.
Changing quilt covers should never be done when you are tired - I just end up bursting out crying with frustration. I have a king size quilt too - you can get lost in the cover.
I hate it when visitors say it's time to go, so you get up, say your goodbyes, walk them to the door and open it for them, then they stand on the doorstep and start a long conversation. ARRRggghhhh - my brother in law and his mrs are the worst offenders. One time, I'm just going to say - will you just bu88er off!
Quilts, eh? All you need two large bulldog clips. I'm not joking about this.
1) Lay the duvet flat on the bed
2) Take hold of the top left corner, stuff it into the duvet cove until it's in the correct position, and then clip it.
3) Do the same with the top right corner.
4) Pull the cover down over the duvet and stuff the two bottom corner into their correct place.
5) Holding the bottom two corners, pick the duvet up and shake it.
Wolf - I bought a pair clips from a JML catalogue recently which are designed to help change a duvet. You clip the top corners of the duvet to the top corners of the cover (on the outside) then it's so much easier to get the rest of the duvet straight.
Actually guys - I bought some clothes pegs for the task.
If I am not tired I can change it quickly - or not so quickly when a feline is 'helping'. But I get really tired (due to health reasons) and my brain ceases to work - if I have to change the cover when I am like that it always ends in tears.
