Do you or don't you?

Personally, I don't. The socks and pants just get stuffed in the underwear drawer and a clean set of bedclothes just gets stuffed into a pillowcase and stuffed into the cupboard!

Indeed, I don't much care whether or not the items in a clean set of bed linen match or not!

My ex was an ironer - she would do pants, socks and bedclothes ... I remember once I made up the bed with whatever pillowcases, duvet cover, and bottom sheet I could most easily lay my hands on. Admittedly, it looked slightly bizarre.

She took one look at it and said, "I'm not sleeping in that!!"
I said, "What the hell do you mean?"
She said, "It looks awful!"
I said, "We just lie in it at night having sex, or sleeping with our eyes shut, who cares what it looks like? For all I care it could have a picture of a huge dog turd on it, you're not going to lie there all night looking at it are you?!"

That didn't go down too well, but it did make her laugh, at least! So muggins agreed to change the bed sheets to a set that matched, all nice and pretty, what's the point, *sigh*, etc ...

Are you an ironer or a non-ironer? A bed-linen-matcher or a couldn't-care-less-you-lie-in-it-in-the-dark-with-your-eyes-shut-er?

Socks, undies and bedsheets don't get ironed in our house. I do all the ironing and don't see the point.

Bed linen must match though as I would get similar grumblings for Mrs. Admin if they didn't!! :thumbsup:

Barnet,
I do iron my undies and bedsheets. They feel so much better when you first get into them. Socks I don't bother with ironing.

That is a nasty thought! Lol!

Mind you, I boil wash my bed linen, I should imagine that has the same effect!

I think that my underwear would only ever get ironed if I could afford a butler. Linen bed sheets should probably ironed.

Obviously all bets are off where girls are concerned: they have different instincts about this kind of thing.

Not underwear, but definitely bedclothes.
It's lovely to get into a clean and smooth bed, especially in hot weather.
Only buy white sheets, linen etc, so no problems with matching.
