Change a duvet cover at the first attempt
Someone once showed me how to turn it inside out and then do some fancy manoeuvre.

It was like a David Copperfield trick to my simple mind.

Turn it inside out, reach inside to grab the far corners and, with your hands still in the cover, grab the duvet by the corners and pull.
Much shaking will then be required.

*Mind blown*
Yeah, as I said still not having it...

I'm still slightly impressed, every time I do it.
And slightly ashamed that I learnt the technique from watching Channel 5.

I'm giving it a go tonight.
Once I've used a toffee mallet to break up the sheets into a more manageable fashion....

But I can do this
I can't put my coat on in a correct manner (see earlier post) but I can do the duvet thing. I learned how to do it in c.1990 watching Nerys Hughes on a daytime TV programme for old people called, I think, Bizarre Bazar.

Every time I do it the name Nerys Hughes pops into my head. Do you think she knows what an impact on my life she's had?

Everyone needs a legacy.
I hope she's proud of hers.

I hold one corner of the duvet in one fist and the corresponding corner of the cover in the other fist, then bring both fists together inside the duvet

Oh yeah it SOUNDS simple
But at some point I always end up putting wrong corner in wrong bit and have to start again.

I'll keep trying though. Don't worry about me.

hold two corners in one fist, stuff it all into a far corner of the sheet
then with your free hand pinch the sheet and one of the duvet corners from the outside. Now you can let go with the inside fist and follow the seam to the next corner, dragging the duvet with you. Bake for 20 minutes, and serve when cool.
