Do you make your beds every day?

Funny you should say that TK as I know someone who changes all the bed linen each & everyday!! This is three beds mind you. And she think's I'm weird because I don't.

Cheezel... each and every day. She has my utmost admiration

In summer, when there are two of us in there - I change the bed twice a week - if there are the white sheets on and the cat has decided the bed is where she wants to sleep (like she doesn't have enough beds in this place to sleep - as well as a multitude of chairs!) then every couple of days (she's black)

If he is in bed alone, he always manages to somehow turn the doona upside down, and back to front. I have to have it the right way up, so I'll move it around until I'm happy, even if it wakes him

Wow, I'm not the only one!! I don't know how they manage to do that!

We have the cat issue here too! Our cat is also black and sheds like crazy. I can't believe how many sleeping spots she has claimed: DS's cot, snugglebed, our bed, the spare bed, the couch, not to mention...she has her own bed! I've thrown out so many pillows because she's covered them in fur beyond the powers of washing and the lint brush. We are constantly washing linen in this house because of the black fur - it is everywhere

Huh! I never used to make my bed - as a kid, my parents weren't the type to care, and as a teen, my bed was a loft up under the ceiling so it was near impossible to make!

When I moved out, and in with DH, I started, as he is obsessive about it, won't leave the house. So now I always do! I never thought about it really, but I do straighten the doona out, and arrange the pillows and cushions, in the morning. Whoever thinks of it first does it.

On the weekneds, I leave everything off to air while the bedding is changed. DH always puts on the new sheets etc., which is a bit of a game, tends to be 30 minute job, with the cat having a ball in the midst of it all lol!

I aim to make them everyday... I agree, it feels "right" to have them done.... it can affect the state of mind. I'm not too hard on myself when it doesn't get done... but I can't remember ever thinking "Gee i wish I didn't make those bed today... what a waste" making them always comes with a feel good factor. Even if 3yo DS jumps all over his. I know that if someone pops over I won't be embarrassed. Plus I find that making them usually turns up dirty and lost items of clothing... that missing sock for example... so it does serve a practical purpose I guess.
