Oh I hate that too! I also hate it when you put something down for 1 second and someone comes to grab it away.

i look pretty hot in an ironing board though.


cept when it traps a boob when you are trying to collapse it. as happened the other day - hence the irrational - or perhaps given the circumstances perfectly rational - rage. and pain. serves me right for ironing.

xxxxxxx


Lay the empty cover flat on the bed, with the opening at the bottom.


Push the quilt into it, shoving the two top corners of the quilt towards the two top corners of the cover. Make sure the quilt is not twisted.


Hold one top corner in each hand, with the cover and the quilt both held firmly.


Shake.


Adjust the bottom corners.


Close the bottom opening.


Simples :)


Well, works for me anyway .....

If you find any of my socks, let me know, I have a whole pile of single socks :))


If you lay the quilt down flat as well (if there's space) before you start, so its top end is next to the quilt cover bottom end, if you see what I mean, it helps it not to get twisted.


But yeh, must admit, putting on quilt covers is not my favourite thing either .....

i have finally figured out what the problem is. i am not a real woman. but this video will help me. and any other lacking women out there.

Sue, if you get bored try this, start with the duvet cover inside out, put your hand inside down into one of the bottom corners and grab the bottom corner of the duvet and pull it through, repeat for other side*...job done.

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
