It takes me, like, an hour to make my bed in the morning. Then I need to keep adding more sheets because it's so cold, you can guarantee one will slip off in the night and the whole lot will gradually go with it. Then I get tangled up, can't be assed to fiddle around with it in the night and usually end up with one thin sheet anyway! Seems like a lot of unnecassary hassle to me.

Nothing makes sense here, it's like the icecube tray... You could probably buy a rubber one from the 99p shop, but instead we have this contraption that could easily slice your fingers, and only works if you perform the special icecube dance and chant wooga wooga three times before nearly breaking your wrist trying to lift the lever to get the ice out!

Christmas ok. Got to see the little ones, and I read Make Way For Ducklings to Ben. He had a slight fever so he wasn't too energetic. Didn't get much but I never do, spent Christmas day playing Mario Galaxy 2 for the wii.

Oh, also, my vinyl copy of REM's Monster album came in, so I've been spinning that a lot.

I'm pretty sure you know what a duvet is, you just don't know that it's called that.

This is what I'm wondering.

Kelly, I totally get what you mean. The few people I've met who just have layers and layers of sheets, and it's like... WHY??

a duvet is a cover that covers your comforter They are nice especially when you have invested a ton in a nice down comforter and you can change the look of your top blanket when you feel like it. They can be costly. But if you can sew... awww... not that terribly atrocious in price. You can make one out of two sheets and a few buttons.

Na, that's a duvet cover. The duvet is the thick thing inside it.
