That's my contribution to the dull thread.

Yes. I learned how while working at a laundry.
No. I won't tell you how
If I did, I might be accused of a less than dull reply

Step 1. The crumpled sheet fresh from the line.

Hi Sadie, welcome. I have one question. Is Manchester as dull as Yorkshire folk say?

Perdita ;)

Hello Perdita (cool name... reminds me of 101 Dalmatians :kiss: )


Put it this way, if it was less dull I'd spend less time in front of a screen.

(I've been to Yorkshire btw, and all I can say is "Pot/Kettle... " y'know where I'm coming from here?)

:devil: Sadie.xx

Step 2. Find the seams at one end of the sheet and bring them together. Repeat for the other end of the sheet.
 
(continued)




Step 3. Holding the seams together at either end extend your arms and shake the sheet to ensure it is not clumped in any section. Some may need to lie the sheet on a flat surface at this stage, if the distance between the seams is wider than the span of one sheep.

Step 5. Lay the sheet on a flat surface and pat it out flat. One end (where the seams from the four corners have been brought together) should have an L shape, where the now-folded elastic turns inwards.
 
I can't figure out if I'm laughing harder at the sheet folding instructions or the fact that I'm not the only one faithfully opening each attachment as soon as it's posted. :D

Either way, I really needed to laugh this hard today. Thanks! :kiss:

Step 6. Fold the sheet in thirds, beginning at the L-shaped end, to form the rectangle shown.
 
Whoaaaaa

Whoa slow down she, we're men for Christ's sake, can you run through that again.
 
ella, that's enough. I think the thread is becoming too interesting.

Let's talk about U.K. weather again.

Ummmmmm

Well it's cold and dull, and not really very pleasant at all, oh and the garbage blokes didn't turn up today, the bloody bins are still out with cat's going through them, crashing and banging about..... SHUT THE FUCK UP OUT THERE!!!!..... little sods, oh and I've got to get a new tyre for the car, and the bloody kitchen tap's dripping again, I only changed that washer about three months ago, bloody Chinese shit, why can't we make stuff over here anymore, damn Tony Blair and his mob of war mongering tossers, can't look after UK industry, but buys bombs off foreigners to drop on other foreigners, I'm going to bed sod this.

Step 7. Fold in thirds again, and consider asking yourself why you care.

This is far as I get. My Step 3 is: roll into conveniently sized ball and jam into bottom of laundry basket.

You're still doing better than me, Doc. I've never understood why it matters if sheets are wrinkled or not. Then again, I never got the reason for making a bed either.

Step 8. Your correctly folded sheet will resemble this baby wombat:
 
Damn!!!!!!

Tried that. I went to bed and got up again.

The wind was howling outside my window. Well, not really, but it is bloody cold.

Couldn't sleep, for some reason.

:confused:

Might be the rumpled fitted sheet. :rolleyes:
 
Screw sheet

...into as small a bundle of material as possible and toss into bedding box.

Forget about until visitors descend and bedding is required.

Run around like headless chicken searching for Iron and extension lead.

Stretch sheet over futon mattress and Iron like crazy until reputable lack of wrinkles is achieved.

Hide beneath duvet.

:D
 
Lou, Pops, whoever: How cold is "bloody cold"? Are there different degrees in the south than north? Do you have data?

Hi there, Sadie.

Another fellow Brit here, but I'm a soft southerner.

Looks like you know your stuff. :D

"Bloody cold" to me is around zero, with a northerly wind. I'm soft, but I ain't that soft. ;)

My feet are STILL cold. :(

Edited to add: That zero degrees celcius, btw. Not farenheit. (Sp?) :D
