Mismatched duvets

[Mumpo]

Bought a new cover for our duvet today, only to find when I tried to fit it that it was a regular double, and therefore the wrong size for our king-size bed.

Bother.

Knowing the pair of you, why would you need a supersized bed? Are you stacking your Doctor Who DVDs up on one side?

[Mumpo]

Yes. I am having an affair with Warriors Gate. I've been seeing it for some time now, behind m'lovely wife's back. I don't think she suspects anything yet, but sooner or later I will have to break the news.

Perhaps she will be up for a menage a trois.

How do you know this much detail about their bedroom, Rogin? Are you shagging his wife?

This is the funniest thing I have seen on here. Why did you buy a regular double when you know you have a kingsized bed?

I find the whole scenario amusing, slightly disturbing.

And why do you call it a bloody "duvet"?
All of a sudden you turn French?

Oh, enter the pillow nazi!

Go ahead, ask her. She knocks regular size pillows, and claims only huge ones are any good.

Pillow nazi!

Oh yes, here is the one, with two pillows on a bed that can fit 47 people in it.

Just demented behaviour.

What do you call that, a Fourty Sevensome?

Look ganja, what is the point of haing a great big bed, where all those people can roll around having fun but only have two pillows?

Two half pillows do not make a pillow.

You need to take up golf, ganja, all of your problems will be solved.

Oh, I've ordered my set. Proper way to play that crap game.

Tell your caddie to come carry my clubs come Friday, when it arrives.

Actually, this is where Ikea are smart. You buy a goose down duvet, but has any person ever tried to buy a cover that will fit the duvet?

Because it cannot be done. You hsve to buy Ikea's duvet covers.

And putting duvet covers on duvets? Oh the problems, I have been inside them, swearing, sweating, tangled up... Just a mess.

I learnt this trick, turn the duvet cover inside out...

[Sommer]

Righto...

I iron my duvet covers. Anybody else?

[Mumpo]

OK, look, I'll come clean - for those who don't visit Music much, it's a crummy tribute thread.

[Sommer]

It is a good topic. I love talking about bed linen.

I've been living with mismatched duvet/cover misery for three years. Finally, the other day, at a cost of £40, I remedied the matter. Now, it's like sleeping in a posh hotel room.

I would be terribly miserable if my duvet covers did not fit properly. Getting one that does fit properly satifies my bossy instincts, if I can get one on without creases and the duvet being twisted up, I'm a happy woman.
