Knot a Chance!

Yesterday, I had to do one of the chores I least like doing: change the duvet cover! Well, my friends, it is far worse over here. 'How could it possibly be?', I hear you exclaim! Here's how: some genius thought it would be a good idea if you sowed a number of loops into each duvet. Then you could have strings on your duvet cover and tie them to the actual duvet.

While I can see the thinking behind it, I've never ever seen or heard of a duvet falling out of a duvet cover once it has been put in! Herself made me change my duvet cover, which she had thoughtfully put on the duvet prior to my arrival. She had also thoughtfully tied it in via seven (yes, 7) knots. It must have taken me the best part of 10 minutes and many mumbled "jeepers" to liberate the bloody quilt from its cover. I don't think even Harry Houdini himself could have done it much quicker!!

That's usually the easy part. Getting the new cover on is the tough part. Herself left me to do it, with specific instructions to tie it in (of course). I completely ignored those instructions (of course) as it was a complete waste of time. I had successfully completed the task to my satisfaction, but that didn't stop herself from redoing it to hers!! Women!
