thread to get over a breakup

what happened to this thread?

sheet hit the fan

We're all three sheets to the wind.

I miss a top sheet - since the lady, it's been duvet's only, one for me one for her. I could get a sheet out only for the half the week that she doesn't stay here, but to be honest I don't even make the bed (fold the duvets in half lengthways, put all the pillows at the head of the bed) unless she's coming up.

I go to sleep face sideways / belly down, and wake in any of several poses - though if I'm on my back then I'm probably being elbowed awake for snoring.

top sheet, untucked, no comforter/duvet except for one or two months a year
with current spooning partner, I'm actually uncovered most of the night when she stays but she radiates enough heat that it doesn't matter

With the mr. out of town, I have re-discovered that I am, in fact, the world's tidiest sleeper. I climb out of bed after eight hours having barely disturbed the sheets and coverlet; I make the bed in one motion with a single hand. When the bed has dual occupancy, it is another story altogether.

yes but gr080 do you tuck your sheets in or not

I must confess I wasn't even sure what a top sheet *was*. Duvets only, thanks.

(NB: I might only be posting this because I find annoying gr80 a little amusing)

Post that effortlessly sum up ILX.. ;) I can harp on about anything when it's comically annoying someone!

you know you're doing something right when you get a gr080 facepalm

With the mr. out of town, I have re-discovered that I am, in fact, the world's tidiest sleeper. I climb out of bed after eight hours having barely disturbed the sheets and coverlet; I make the bed in one motion with a single hand.

Come live with me and be my love, and we will all the duvets prove. Why aren't there more of us? Sleeping through the night would be so much easier.

"I've spent so many years teaching them how to live, and they're arguing about...duvets???" xp

lol

When it is hot as hell, what do duvet-only sleepers do? No cover on the bed?

I used to do that when I didn't use topsheets.

x-post - In the AC.

i use a lighter blanket. also i'm not that sensitive to heat and unless it's inhumanly hot, i don't mind having the duvet with me (i am never 100% under the blanket, usually part of me is under it, part of me is over it, etc.)

I live in the UK. It's never *that* hot.

Well this thread got weird.

A+

xp to Laurel: you are welcome in my bed any time! I pity the fool who has to flop around like a fish on land ALL NIGHT.

i'm 100% with laurel, i can't sleep if there's a twisted or flappy sheet annoying my fusspot princess and the pea feet.

^from the last time we discussed this and for all the next times as well.

my feet stick out over the edge of the bed; if the top sheet isn't tucked i end up with it coming up to cover me from knee or thigh to neck, which is not ideal.

to those who feel trapped: you don't need to pull the sheet up hardcore; allow your wee little feet some sheet slack!

btw this post is relevant to this thread because my wife was a feet-be-freeper and now i am able to stave off such entropy amongst my sheets.

My feet also stick out over the edge (thus footboards make me IA), but mookie is 100% correct that you can have a nice, non-binding slackness that nevertheless keeps things tidy. You untuckers are a bunch of disgusting savages btw.

otm footborads are the worst

OK well the mr. (taller than I though not as tall as you) have a footboard, but it is a sleigh-style thing so there is a big gap between the foot of the mattress and the board, otherwise dude we would soooo not be married.

Mine stick out too but a huge part of it for me is that I don't want my feet covered! Unless it's very cold then I like them out. The rest of me can be covered (though half often isn't) but I hate hot feet.

Socks in the bed give me NIGHTMARES (as in fever-type too hot dreams), but icicle feet are perhaps worse :(

haha my ex wanted a nice grownup bed but the only ones she liked had footboards. so at least we avoided that boondoggle

stick a foot out the side dammit

xxxxxxxxxxxxxp

Laurel, I couldn't face posting the sitch on 77 so I webmailed you instead!

My dreams of 50-people-in-a-bed promo shots for ILX the sitcom grow more faint...

Usually prefer a tucked-in sheet and some sort of cover or duvet; that said, there's something alluring about spooning or otherwise being entwined with no covers at all so you can see each other.

whoa

genius!

bah - that's dumb

potential advertising slogan: 'get blown in bed'

that would piss me off.

listen nobody say anything else about their fucking sheets because I swear to God if I have to hear Grady complain to me about derailing this thread once more off board I'm going to start stabbing myself with a pencil or something

what if we knew who he was complaining to and are perpetuating this for just that reason? :)

Then you're all just assholes.

Anyway, the kibosh, I am putting it on that topic for my own sanity and personal safety. I thank you for your cooperation.

but! the sheets! we have to discuss...the tucking, and the things of that nature!

;_;

lets talk about spicy food now- who likes it? i cant really take anything spicier than tabasco, myself.

xxp Or you could tell him to stop whining to you. Just saying.

I think the thing I find most amusing about complaining about this thread being derailed is that, unless you are wanting to use it for its original purpose, essentially what you're saying is "SHUT UP AND BE MORE MISERABLE, ILXORS".

Oh, he's just doing it on purpose because I'm easy to rile up and he knows it. I'm not actually mad. I told him to can it though, don't worry.
