Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Carriad. I'm Sarah. And we are the Weirdo's Book Club podcast. We are doing a very special live show as part of the London Podcast Festival. The date is Thursday, 11th of September. The time is 7pm and our special guest is the brilliant Alan Davies. Tickets from kingsplace.com. Single ladies, it's coming to London.
Starting point is 00:00:17 True on Saturday, the 13th of September. At the London Podcast Festival. The rumours are true. Saturday the 13th of September. At King's Place. Oh, that sounds like a date to me, Harriet. Welcome to No To Panic. Please come into my bedroom and look at my bed. Gosh, good start, isn't it? God, that's nice. It's nice, isn't it? Because I've learned how to make my bed properly. I'm backing this episode. I think it's a very important thing. Very important skill we should all learn, but never do. Have you actually learned?
Starting point is 00:01:01 No. Have you started doing it? I've researched. No, no, I believe you, but you don't have to be defensive. Don't worry. I'm not. I'm fucking not, okay? We've begun strong, everyone. My question was just whether you had started making the bed in a different way. No. God, no. I find making the bed, well, this is why we're doing it. I find making the bed one of life's biggest challenges and heartaches. Lest that, it's so fucking boring. And I get so bored of the thought of doing it.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I think there's very few chores that I feel so bored by. Often I don't want to do them, but I'm like, well, it's satisfying at the end. And it is satisfying to get into a bed and you're like, oh, the shoots are great. for one night and then they're like slept in a normal again. I think it's and thank you so much for sharing the truth. Thank you for acknowledging the sharing of truth. And holding the space for the truth. I think it's one of those ones that a hotel bed
Starting point is 00:01:51 is such a like, it's so outrageously delicious to get into. And then the thought of like making that for yourself it's so exhausting to even think about. And then it's exactly what you say like you need someone to come in every day and make your bed. And also you need to be in a hotel. And I've got some. Bones to pick with Hotel Bed
Starting point is 00:02:10 Go on. No, I'll save it. We've got to pad this episode on some way. No, I'm excited about it because I really, this is how much I want to do this episode. I, for many years, as I kept pitching Nobody Panic 3.0, the silver screen. Oh, yeah. Well, I wanted, I was pitching it too. I know, we were all pitching it, but my suggestions were
Starting point is 00:02:30 chop an onion. Yes. Change a car tire. Yes. And make a bed. And I wanted to... What? I didn't think of it. What did you think of that? I said shit, man. I've forgotten it. I wanted us to go to like clarages and meet the top bedmaker and learn from the bedmaker,
Starting point is 00:02:49 like the head of housekeeping at like the world's best hotel. I wanted us to go and learn how to make a... I want to do that. Me too. We all agreed. But then nobody was interested in... So no one else wanted us to do that. No, the head of clarages was not very interested in us saying,
Starting point is 00:03:03 where's your head bedmaker and can we learn from them? If you are the head of claridges, are the hotels also available and you would like to help us learn on camera? We'd really like to learn. I'd really like to learn. It's so popular as well as in the moment. I mean, popular isn't in populism. Or you'll hear the rest of the sentence and you'll think, is it?
Starting point is 00:03:23 There's a lot of that TikTok phenomenon, day in the life of a stay-at-home girlfriend. Oh my God, I'm obsessed with them. And they're often sort of so rich and they just spend the whole day just getting out their various sort of gadgets and then boxes of things they've ordered. It's very attractive, very small girls, just having endless matcher. Yeah, lots of matcher. But they make the bed at the beginning. And I once tried to make a joke one.
Starting point is 00:03:51 And I put the camera up and then I just sort of threw the duvet up and then I was like, and then left the room. And actually it looked so bleak. It wasn't even very funny. It was just so sad. But anyway, they always make the bed like, and they put all the cushions on and they put all the blanket and it's all really nice. but it takes so long.
Starting point is 00:04:07 It takes so long. And so I've just got... Also, when you, like we are, I don't want to go... I can only speak for myself. Please. I don't go out on a limb and say that you may nap throughout the day, but like I... I actually... Sorry, go on.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I will occasionally have a nap of a weekday. And then you've got to make the bed again after that. Nightmarish. It's not for napping girls. Napping is actually not, I'm not on the nap cycle. I'm a wolf. My sleep cycle is a wolf. And I go to bed late and wake up late, but then I'm up.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Anyway, so... The bed, it's a lot, isn't it, the bed? One of my dreams is, be very, very wealthy, of course. Miguel, the chef, he's my number one purchase. Right. And the bedmaker? No, number three. Number one, Miguel.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Number two, Alejandro. Alejandro is my stylist. And I never, ever think about my clothes. Oh, okay. I'm into that. Okay. Alejandro dresses me every morning. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Yeah. Shevorn. I see. She comes in and makes the bed. Interesting. And it's like ironed and crisp and she does it every day. That is one of the number one place. And that's my full entourage.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You've got our ironed. I'm a humble woman. It's just the three of us travel in the world. Yeah, you sound it. You, Miguel, Alejandro, Chavon. And we're off. And we're off. Chavon, of course, is also a very attractive Spanish man.
Starting point is 00:05:26 Absolutely. Absolutely. I think that was clear. That was absolutely clear. We've not even really talked about what this podcast is, but we like to do the how-toes. And then at the start, we have a little pause and we discuss the most adult thing that we've done this week.
Starting point is 00:05:42 I had a dinner party for seven people. Jesus. I cooked a chili con carne, vegetarian, from scratch. Great. I didn't cry once. The table was laid. Everything was done. And I made a cake.
Starting point is 00:05:55 This is wild. It is wild, isn't it? And I had to really keep it under control of how I couldn't believe. Like, high-fiving everyone every five seconds. Yeah. Because it was like making a basic meal. for seven felt like I shouldn't deserve as many high-fives that I insisted people give me.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. But it felt fantastic. Seven's a lot of people. I was very inspired by Monica Heise's episode about, you know, people around. You have your jug of cocktails. You just chill out. Don't have a white, clean plastic tablecloth, etc. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I really took a lot from it. What's yours? Got some presents from my partner for my birthday. And for the first time I said, he's like, he got me a pair of trainers. and they were fine, but I knew I wouldn't wear them. And so I said, and I was like, oh, they're great, they're great. And then when I had to show, I was like, I don't think I'm going to wear them. And I thought, the adult thing is to be like, be truthful.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So I did say, then this came after the non-adult thing of he bought me this incredibly me dressing gown, which is like black Hugo Boss, like waffle thing, like beautiful, like so cool. and I nearly cried because I was wearing my dressing gown, which is like white sort of stained fluffy dressing gown. It's white company, but I've had it for a long time. I hate it. Yeah. And I felt so upset that this dressing gown would feel bad.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Okay. I would open it. I didn't say that. I couldn't verbalise why I was like, oh, it's great, but I don't want to open it. Because if I open it, then I'll, I can't send it back. And he was like, do you not want it? And I was like, I just, but I've already gone a dressing gown.
Starting point is 00:07:31 He was like, it's cool. voted egg. It'll be sad. We like this. And then I had to be like, I had to actually say, yeah, I honestly feel like this dressing gun
Starting point is 00:07:41 will be sad. And I've opened that dressing gown. Why would I ever wear this one? And it knows that. And he was like, okay. So at the dog for a walk. And then I came back
Starting point is 00:07:51 and I was wearing the new dressing gown. Like, I love it. I love it. But then I did unfortunately have to then say, I don't want the trainers. So it was a real,
Starting point is 00:08:00 like, emotional roller coaster of just giving me a couple of presents that I liked. But I said it in like a good way. I was like, I love the trainers. They are really, really nice trainers. It's just that for me, I don't think I'm going to be able to style them. They don't give me that kind of like excitement, you know, and I felt glad. And now he understands. And I'm going to swap them for something I prefer. So that is good. I think that's really wonderful. Yes. And that's you did really, really well.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Let's make the bed. Let's make the bed. Let's make the bed. So I've got some bones to pick with hotels. My issues are is that the hotel bed, they are catering to a broad audience. So, for example, I find hotel beds there's not enough thickness. I love, my personal duvet, heavy, thick, can't really get out of it, feel like a bear being crushed. That's what I want. I want to feel like a bear's on top of me. That's what I sort of prefer. When you go to a hotel, it's like, here's the, the, um, blanket, you know, also tucked in. So when you get in, you feel like you're in a coffin. Yeah, and then you've got to kick your feet.
Starting point is 00:09:11 And then you have to kick your feet, but you can't kick your feet and just like a casual. You've got to like, really like, and actually what you've got to do is you've got to get out and like go round. Yeah. But you don't want to do that. So then you end up like doing this like quite intense feet kicking thing for a while until you're free. And then it sort of just feels like I'm laying under a towel.
Starting point is 00:09:26 But I understand why they do it because you are catering for the broad audience. You're, you can't cater for the people. people that want to be squashed like a bear. Well, guess what's in the cupboard? A bear. Top, top drawer above the wardrobe. A duvet. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I'm flawed. I'm absolutely flawed. And if not, you just call down to reception and say, please, could I get an extra duvet or an extra blanket? I saved myself so many nights of crying. Simply are. I think you could, that perhaps could be your motto this year. Ask about the duvets. Simply ask.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Okay. Number one is the opposite of what I would have said. So I. And where are we getting our sources from here? We're getting our sources from amalgamation of lots of different hotels across the world. So this particularly comes from the Plaza Hotel, Gabriella Wong, who works for the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Thank you, Gabriella. Fitted sheets are not your friend.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Gosh, go on. Gabriella! I'm in, I couldn't be more in. Just drop a bomb in the first. Yes, they might make changing beds easier, but if you want hotel quality beds, you can't do it. You need fitted sheets because it allows you to, it's just more even and it allows. you to stretch and pull the sheets as tight as you can and allows you to do that kind of signature,
Starting point is 00:10:35 the hotel touch. Hospital corners. Hospital corners. So you tuck the sheet into the ends. So if you've got your rectangle, you're like, you're tuck in the end, top end, bottom end, either end. Yeah, and then you leave your corners flapping.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Right. Because it's going to be that's flat. It's not going to... Long sides loose. Long side's loose. Corners flap in. Then you lift the edge of the sheet to form a 45 degree angle. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Like wings. and you pull and then you tuck that hanging fabric as tight as you can before doing the same with any kind of leftover fabric around that corner. With the fitted sheet, you're always going to get the sort of creases around because it is bunching the material by that it's very nature. Well, exactly. And of course they won't go beautifully into the linen cupboard. Well, you can't fold to them, you see.
Starting point is 00:11:21 And there's the rub. Lead us on. Oh, it's Catherine Devlin. It's a surprise to us all that she's got something to say about this. God, and they've let her out. have they again. He's an executive housekeeper at the Homes Hotel, London. Now this is again where it's slightly tricky to describe, but this is putting duvets on. And what they try to explain here is that like duve covers serve a bigger purpose than just looking pretty. Not only do they
Starting point is 00:11:47 keep your duve clean and help with longevity, but also designed with your skin health in mind. I think that's going too far and everyone just need to dial it back and sort of get a life in essence. What does Catherine say? What does she go on to say? She doesn't say that. So Catherine, I'm not telling you to get a life. I'm telling these sort of the telling someone out, chat GPT that wrote this.
Starting point is 00:12:04 The idea that we would not know that you meant to put duvet cover on a duvet is quite astonishing but maybe you're listening and you've just you've got your duve without a cover on.
Starting point is 00:12:14 We've all done it. I don't think I have. I've gone raw a number of times. But you've known you've been doing it. Oh, I knew it was wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Oh, every... What? This is what's meant to be like, yeah. I felt high on the adrenaline of how wrong it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:27 The thing is I would never, ever, ever go raw pillow. never and yet raw mattress I'm like eh I know gross isn't it oh yeah I don't want it every day yes that is gross but I'm presuming you're doing that because you've stripped your bed because you've gone like it's time for new sheets absolutely and then they haven't dried in time and you get
Starting point is 00:12:46 you get home late and you forgot to do your bed and you look at the you look upon the unmade bed the exhaustion of that and you just think fuck it and you wrap yourself like a little worm and you lie down you have a one night standard with a raw pillow when I was in your prime in my... Well, technically, yeah, no. I have and I've said,
Starting point is 00:13:04 Where's your linen cupboard? And I've insisted we find a pillowcase and put it on. Where's your linen cupboard? She says during... During coitus. Head of housekeeping, matron, being like, where's your linen cupboard, please? I'm not lying down on that.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I would say my bed hygiene has vastly improved. I have a live-in lover. And he takes hygiene very seriously. He's like a normal person. He's a normal man. And he's an Orban and he really thinks we should wash our sheets regularly. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:34 And so we do. But I never would reveal to him how, how, what time frame I would be on for sheet washing. I'm still going to say I'm never going to reveal, even on this podcast, even off air, I'm never going to reveal how long I think I would leave it.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Because it is real bad. Yeah. Okay, so this is, this is Catherine Devlin. And yet I want Chivorn to do it every day. Isn't that insane? It is insane. Because you could just do it every day.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I'm prepared to sleep on it raw and to change it. And yet, I pay you chevorn. Yeah, you pay shevon money. Do it every day. Well, the reason that we don't do it often is because you just go like, oh, not now, I'll do it tomorrow. Oh, don't now, I'll do it tomorrow. Because it's that classic, it's actually the worst task in the world because of the timing,
Starting point is 00:14:20 it is maybe five minutes too long for you to do it now. And it's also not long enough for you to really justify never doing it. So you always feel guilty. You're saying, you're speaking truth to power. I really am. Speak on that. Speak on that. I tell you another top tip.
Starting point is 00:14:35 I'm just going to say right now. You need to get two full sets in rotation. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You're talking to sheetworm. These are just the classic tips. Okay, and now, of course, hospital corners. Yeah, no, so this is just about how to change the duvee.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Ready, Catherine. How to put the duvet cover on the duvet. I think this is quite basic. Just take two corners of the duvet and shake the duvet cover out the correct way. You make sure the top two corners are at the top of the bed before smoothing the duvet out, making sure to fold under the bottom corners and the sides.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Whoa, Catherine. That is just putting a dupe cover on. It's not really a tip there. We need to understand how to get the duvet inside the thing because I'm inside the duvet, Catherine, that can't be right. No, you shouldn't go inside. No, I know. But recently, when I took a living lover,
Starting point is 00:15:29 He was very helpful, like, oh, the buttons on the bottom. I was like, oh, right. What, where are your buttons? Top. Top, Steve. I know. Yeah. Up in July, it was 29. Buttons on the top.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Bums on the top. That should be your cordial. That should be your memoir. Bons on the top. Yeah. A life felt not asking. Like that's, a life lived without asking by Stevie Martin. What did you think they were doing on the top?
Starting point is 00:15:53 Just being there. So you thought they were like nice. Living with me. Well, just as they know, you'd like. Do you? Sometimes I think not only why do this podcast, why were you even out of the house? Like, these are two women not prepared. You know when you like, do your buttons up on your cardic, on your top?
Starting point is 00:16:09 And they're at the top and they go up to your neck. That's so nice. It was like, it felt like the duve was facing me. That's so nice, Stevie. It's like a size or something. I understand completely. You've done your shirt up and you've done his shirt up. Buttons in the top.
Starting point is 00:16:26 My pyjamas, buttons are there. I can't believe we attempted to ask some head housekeepers and some top hotel for tips I will continue though When your partner isn't there do you sometimes put the burns back up?
Starting point is 00:16:43 No no I know once I knew it was like obviously and also it meant that now we've got like nice buttons And now he's at your feet be like good night good at top and tail it's nice This is why simply ask has got to be your motto because there's so many things in your life
Starting point is 00:16:58 that you're just like That's the head of the whole fruit, I suppose. I suppose. It's like life can be way, way easier. Okay, what's tip number three? Oh my God, right. Okay, you don't need to get the iron out to achieve perfectly crisp cheese. No shit.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I'm not ironing my friend. He'll be too hot. It'll be too hot. Okay. Okay. So this is Adabel Carlos. Thank you for joining us, Annabel. You're in fine company.
Starting point is 00:17:32 So if you spray a bit of misted water onto your sheets and just pull them tight, you say goodbye to wrinkles. When's that happening? When's that happening? Obviously, what do you mean? When we're making the bed? Yes, we're making the bed. And then I spray it with a bit of water.
Starting point is 00:17:47 We're doing sheets. So not the sort of water you're thinking of, not like, you know, you sort of just like, yeah, you need a. like a fine mister, you know, like a, like you'd missed your plants with. Sure. Okay. Again, I haven't sorted out, but my partner does. Like you might. Yeah. Okay. Have you got a mister in the house? We actually do, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Okay, so you could miss the sheets. I could miss my own sheet. I won't. I think you should, in the interest of science. Okay. I'll miss my sheets. There's another tip. Obviously, make sure that your sheets are the correct size. Now, that says, that's obvious, but that's not really, is it? Like, because I've definitely got sheets there are too big and been like, well, that's too big is fine
Starting point is 00:18:28 because it's better than to be too small. Certainly. But then they kind of bag and like sag. And if you're like... Do you're talking sheet or you're talking duvet? Sheet. Oh yeah. If your duvet cover is not the same size of your duvet,
Starting point is 00:18:39 you have even a world of pain. I live like that for six years. And like... I bet he was just retreating away from you. Flopping around. Mother! You get me, mother! Yeah, it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Also, I would feel sick every time. woke up because you know when you're like you've got empty you've got an empty sheet and then a huge big bag of duvet at the bottom it's like there's a body inside it was for you of course it was your friend and he's like curled on your feet like a cat yeah horrid okay so duve obviously correct but then what is wrong with putting too big a sheet on the bed it just took it in for the hospital corners yes you took it in for the hospital corners but the thing is and then if you move in the bed you so say you're you're you're moving around and you kind of like pull the sheet a little bit it's going to pull out and out and like bag up and like have big bubbles in in the sheet so it's not
Starting point is 00:19:25 going to be tight. Truth be told when you do try and get a king size sheet into under a single bed, you are raising that mattress up quite a bit in order to shove it underneath. Yeah, yeah. And they are coming out. I do, I do agree. Okay. This is a bold heading. Karate shop your comforter. That's what it says. Go on. To get that perfect even, oh yes. I do like to do that. The comforter at the top. I don't really have one of these. The top. What do you think a comforter is? Oh, okay. I think it's the thing that's like, it's like a thick,
Starting point is 00:19:55 a pillowy blanket that goes on top of your dove. But why are you putting it at the top, why your pillows? Oh, I call the top of the bottom. No. Oh, no. You call the top of your bed, the end of the bed. Well, just did that. Where his head is now.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I just didn't. I just didn't. Yeah. Maybe it's because I've turned him round. Oh my God. No, it can't be because I don't, I don't, I don't ever say. I can't because I'm not well. I can't why have done that?
Starting point is 00:20:24 No, because that would imply that I'm like, I'll just get into the bottom of my bed. Put into the bottom of your bed and you called the pillow end. The pillow is the bottom of the bed. But that must be because I just said it there. Yeah, you did. Because that's what you said his head is now. Yeah. How long has his head been down there?
Starting point is 00:20:36 Since you've moved in together. Five years. Five years. Five years. That's the top. That's the top. That's where he lives. That's where he lives.
Starting point is 00:20:43 So I'm putting it at the bottom of the bed. So you put a comfort on his head. I put a comfort on his head. But I'm, you spread so you spread out. Just for anybody, I say a comforter is a very American expression, but it means in this case any blanket, either down or a blanket, or anything that I would say, even if you've gone for pure white sheets,
Starting point is 00:20:58 there's something very like, ooh. Yeah. God, I'm a single woman in the city. You know, even if you live with a partner and whoever you are, there's something very like... But having an eye to down? Yes, don't you think? Single woman in the city and I have.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Having an item out of it. At the top. You're all right. I've got to have you with the perspective. Okay, when I first put a blanket on the end And I did the karate chop And then I got a slightly different colour Of the underside of the blanket and made that thing
Starting point is 00:21:44 I thought, I'm Carrie Bradshaw No, it is very nice This is it, I made it This is, no matter how badly you've done the rest of it The karate chopped No, I think it definitely elevates your bed sleep pie But don't you think comforter makes you be like Yes, a professional
Starting point is 00:21:58 Single woman in the city was just so specific And not quite what I was imagining To me it's actually like domestic bliss, domestic goddess sort of woman who's like, she's got the dress pillows. Is that what we call them? Yeah, could be. I've never heard of. Sort of like pillows you don't sleep.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Yeah. Show pillows. Show pillows. They have like so many pillows. Then why do they put them? On the floor. That's disgusting. And then you put them back on.
Starting point is 00:22:22 And then I guess you put them back on. So that is when they're sleeping in the bed, these people that I'm thinking of, they're just surrounded by detritus. Straitis everywhere. It's wild. I mean, I am also. to try to but it's all things like
Starting point is 00:22:35 mugs and like there is something I find the show pillars and this is somebody who loves a show item but like I really
Starting point is 00:22:40 don't like this is coming from somebody who loves a show item sometimes you do no no you do love a show item it's just funny
Starting point is 00:22:46 okay if I had guests you'd get yeah you put out a bowl of lemons as a show item and then but if I had them to the and made their bed show towel
Starting point is 00:22:53 at an angle crisp and square if I can flannel into a swan a swan a chocolate wow out of the swan's beak loose
Starting point is 00:23:02 just melting all over No, I can't, yeah, yeah, end this one, or like a lint, ideally. Very nice, very nice, a lint ball. And from my collection in the larder, which I call tiny larder, or my miniature things. So I collect miniature bottles and miniature jams. And you put them in the mini larder? No, they're in the normal. A big larder.
Starting point is 00:23:21 They're in the big larder. To make the big, to make the larder look bigger. Yes. They're in a small section of the larder, called the miniature larder, which was a compromise with my living lover, vis-a-vis the sheer volume of miniature thing. And a small section of the larder was designated to be the miniature larder. Wow. Well, that's actually another tip here.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Always put show jam on the bottom or top. Or top of the bed. One of the things that I thought was quite cool is that so I'm now going back into the thing. So this is the sort of finishing touches that will make your bedroom. Please. Yeah, that's where we're ready for. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've obviously nailed down the actual bed.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Everything's under control. Cozy robes, the very best slippers and a soft throw. Okay. But pillow mists. things like that. Go to take yourself to John Lewis on a day off and go to the fabric bit. Go to the sheets bit and touch all, touch it. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Go to where they sell bedding, touch it and buy it. No. Okay. So a big long line of them is hanging like curtains. So that you can. I thought they were curtains. So I didn't touch them. Probably. And some of them are.
Starting point is 00:24:27 So just, but when you get to sheets, there is a whole set of them for exactly this. So they're out. And so you can feel what like. Egyptian cotton feels like and it's like oh okay I don't actually like because you might think a hundred and thousand thread count that's the best thing and then when you touch you're like oh I actually don't like that so it's good to go and like feel all those things you know don't don't buy it but then you like no you're like this is what I'm looking out for in the sales whatever and then also to return to toy story one um thank god and thank god um there's a bit and i think
Starting point is 00:24:55 I've brought this up before but it really stuck with me um the the army soldiers are like reporting back on the walkie talkie and about what present they're all getting and he's going Mr. Potato Head, Mr. Potato Head. And then they go, we got, we got, it's Bedsheets. And then they go, what? Bedsheets? Who invited that kid? Actually, bedsheets are a wonderful gift. Wonderful gift. So actually, maybe you're in a part of your life where you're like, could I actually have some lovely, lovely linens?
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah. That would be so nice for me. Lovely linens. So I don't have to live in these rags. Well, look, I think we're ready to be professional bedmakers. I couldn't be more ready. I could not be more. I wasn't expecting it to be such a raucous ebb. I wasn't expecting there to be so many reveals about the bed situation from both of us actually. I thought I was a fairly, because because my sort of like
Starting point is 00:25:40 well, no, my actual hydrogen is absolutely appalling because I obviously don't change my sheets ever. But like the, in terms of like, my bed normally just looks fine. But it's actually the perspective, it's the bed in my mind that's broken. How I view a duvet is all off. Yeah, there's a lot going on there for you. A lot going on there.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah, yeah. Have you got two duvets or just the one? In terms of actual duve, I've got one. and then I've got like three sets. Like for you and your partner sleeping, whether if you both are like the same duvet, it can be like, do we have two different ones? Well, my mum and dad have different,
Starting point is 00:26:11 have, my dad likes a lighter dove, my mum has a heavier dove. I think that's the way around. They have it. And they have half and half like a pizza. How lovely. Half is heavier, half is lighter. But then my mum started to not actually want it to be as heavy.
Starting point is 00:26:23 So then they turned it at horizontals. Now they have heavy on their, no, heavy on their bodies, light on their feet. And who could say, where some of your duvet issues come from. We will simply never know. That's very interesting. That's very interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:39 What a lot to unpack. Yeah, so much to unpack. Well, good luck to everyone. Good luck to everyone. I'm sure we learned a lot. And about us mainly. I'm excited to try some of the techniques. I'm going to mist.
Starting point is 00:26:50 I'll miss my sheets. I'm going to sleep on sod and sheets now, on I? For me, I think I might go home and I might start completely afresh with our pillows because we're just two people with, with like just carrying pillows with us from place to place. I think I've had the pillow since I was born. Yeah. I might have a new pillow.
Starting point is 00:27:10 And each night we both say, where's the good pillow? And we look in our pillows everywhere on the floor. And then there's like five pillows. And then we both choose our, and then the other three are rejected. Yeah. And there's one really flat one. He's called rags. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:26 And he talks like this. Baby. Okay. I'm glad you said that. That's about to bring it home. I'm glad you added that. He's this horrible, like, like, hey, you want to bite, you want to get, you know, you want a bite. He's going to sell your stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:44 He's a lot. He's done tough. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a guy who knows, he knows a man, you know, he knows. And he, and he, honestly God, do you try and put a duvet cover on him? And he, like, kicks it off. And he'll be like, hey, I'm rags. Great.
Starting point is 00:28:01 But he's sliding that under the Indiana Jones store at the end there. Yeah, lovely. Getting rags in. So I think maybe it's time for us just to have four normal matching pillows. You've got to let and to be like, we like the pillows. So isn't this like, where are the good ones? Why am I being like, that's a good pillow at this time, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Okay. Okay. Wow. Wow. Wow. Well, God bless us all. Thank you. And you got any tips?
Starting point is 00:28:24 Do write in. Or not. I'm happy for you not to. You know what? Best not. You know what? You go with God. Have a nice sleep.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Bye, everybody. Goodbye and good night. For the kiss for the slippers. No, no. Oh no.
