No top sheet and no duvet. Light-weight quilts all the way. We use those year round and they get washed with the fitted sheets.

I keep one folded and ready at the foot of my bed but I usually don’t need it. Once winter time rolls around, but it’s just a thin throw blanket. This probably won’t make sense but I keep it fairly mild in the house now. 77-79 degrees because I don’t want my daughter getting to cold. She doesn’t sleep with blankets and I feel like her room gets a bit chilly if I go below 77. So I usually sweat through the night for her sake. Holy fack, we could never sleep together.
64 degrees or colder. No top sheet EVER. Fleece blanket always. H has his own blanket so I don't have to share.
My nose is sniffling just thinking about that.

I use flat sheet and duvet and I do wash weekly. I change the flat sheet more often depending if my sweaty ass husband ruined it. I’m doIng the most I see. But I also do my bed everyday.

Yes it goes in with the rest of the bedding weekly. It really only takes s couple minutes to put it back on the duvet I always feel like I'm going into some type of wrestling match. I’ll come teach you better duvet technique

77-79 is making me feel sweaty just thinking about it.
I miss the days of keeping it at 60 at night in the winter. Now that the toddler has blankets I'm going for 65 at night.

My nose is sniffling just thinking about that. And I wouldn't even cuddle you to keep you warm. I am sorry @gentleapricot, we just aren't a good bedroom match. I guess you'll have to stick with your tried and true man blanket.

Yes, my bed is made every morning... or even at night after sex. The thought of sleeping in unmade beds makes me skin crawl.

anything above 75 is a no-go in my house. We usually do 75 in the summer, and 70 in the winter, windows open in fall and some of spring.
Also, separate blankets/duvets/comforters/etc. are a MUST.

I can’t sleep in the heat, I need cold. My old bedroom used to get down to 56 in the winter, that was too cold but 64 is perfect. I don’t even turn the bedroom heat on out here since it’s not that cold

Recommendation threads are always terrible for me because I can justify anything I want. I'll tell myself I have a budget but once I set my sights on something oh, the thing is, it's on sale now, and that one time I didn't buy a thing I wanted and I never got it and it still bothers me, plus my birthday is 2 months away, so you know, actually this is kind of an early birthday gift and last week we spent less at the grocery store than normal so basically I'm almost stealing this item, it's like not spending any money at all.

I like you too much not to give you a hard time. ETA Google tells me that it was probably just super dry and couldn’t have actually fused. but anyway she had to get a professional to take it out, and she was told it could have blinded her.

I like you too much not to give you a hard time. I agree with you. I have these talks with myself too, and I appreciate the kick in the ass. Like, I know I’ll take them out tonight now but I’m so bad at being consistent.

I take out my contacts every night. I’m a very responsible contact user and I still got an eye ulcer. It wasn’t fun. I had to wear glasses for more than a month and I was not happy. I loath wearing glasses.

I also don’t know what is happening with the clothing industry where everything is cheaply made now. I remember buying a Michael Kohrs shirt years ago at a Ross and it was so well made. It fell nicely on me. Now some shirts just plain suck man. I also feel like no one is really designing clothes that fit plus size women really well in tne $-$$ range. While I am not quite plus size, I could not agree with you more. It's a huge hole in the fashion industry right now. I watch a lot of plus sized fashion you tube channels because I feel like a lot of the advice is applicable to me with having some harder- to - fit parts. Most of the stunning looking/ well made plus clothing is $$$. It's harder to get away with something that is cheaply made when you have a larger frame because I find myself constantly worried I will bust a seam. The plus sized industry also tends to design for the "ideal" plus sized shape-flat middle with large chest and rounded hips- which is also the way that most plus sized models are shaped. Not a UO, just an observation. I hate how the plus shirts are so boxy. Not all plus size means that their stomach is wide. I want a shirt that is long not wide

There is nothing better than that feeling when you crawl into a made bed at the end of the day. I actually didn't make my bed this morning and I feel like nothing else I do today matters.

I have to remake the bed before sleep even if I didn't make it that morning. I have a sick kid sleeping in my bed right now and I will be making the bed again after she's up (and changing the pillow cases bc I do not have time to get sick)

I also need toric contacts and those things aren’t cheap. Even at Costco. So whenever I run out, I beg and plea for a free sample while next paycheck gets here and I can buy 6 month supply.
I will admit I wear 1 month contacts for like 2 months or until they rip. I’m not contact rich.

I will splurge on shoes though. Splurge in relation to my finances. I love a good comfortable shoe. Same with C I’ll buy her “good shoes” So her footies are comfortable and last a while. Yep here too. I've said it before that we used to take a lot of flak and still do some with the fact that our dd wears Nike almost exclusively for her tennis shoes, but I would much rather pay $60 for her shoes to last and be good to her feet.

I splurged and bought D1 a pair of Nikes that I found on clearance at Kohl's. And then my parents took her to a park on the beach and didn't yell at her to get her ass away from the water, so of course they got wet and sandy within a week of her having them.

Like my eyeballs hurt after wearing my contacts all day. It feels good to take them out.
