Do you have to lift your mattress to get them on? I just slide it over & shove it under with my hands from either side - so standing with the corner facing me i just hold it by the bottom elasticated corner & pull it under then shove in under at the sides slightly. Just sort of help it where it...

Sheets are difficult to fit back into the packet though so i have been known to take mental note (or a photo) of how its folded & packed as i'm undoing it. However i have also just rolled up a sheet & stuffed it unceremoniously back into its bag & returned to M&S, with no issue at all!

yes, because you bought them in store. you cant return things bought in store for any other reason than faulty. online/distance purchasing rules are completely different, because you can fully examine/inspect items and try on clothes in store, but when you buy online you only have a picture to...

yes. The law states anything bought at distance can be properly inspected & then returned if not suitable, but it has to be in re-saleable condition. Its just if you dont like it/doesnt fit then return cost is yours, (whereas if it faulty seller pays return costs) so i mostly buy from places...

LOL @Arnie Pye poor things :bear: Not having been able to go shopping without it making me really ill for about 20yrs i tried to get everything online (or before the rise of online shopping i used to use catalogues like Freemans, Empire Stores & Littlewoods. Although it's a bit of a faff...

Fitted sheets IME are vastly easier energywise. No lifting of the mattress at all. the issue you described is with the fit, the wrinkles come when the fit isnt tight enough - too tight though and it will 'ping' off the corners. so the key is to get a good fit. - measure the depth of your...

I feel completely confindent in stating that we will not be on any list making us vulnerable/needing antivirals on the merits of having ME alone, until such time as a biomedical test is found which shows irrefutable proof of an aetiology which would mkae us more likely to develop severe/life...

I cant see me ever going in a busy place without an N95 on, for the forseeable future. I dont find them at all troublesome now i found ones that really comfy, so i cant see the point in not weraing it.

yes @hellytheelephant i too found that really very twisted & revolting

Well that would depend n the type of mask.

@Natalie you have done the 'fair share' of several thousand people with this project. I am profoundly grateful to you, particularly because of all you and your family have sacrificed to produce all the vids. They are an outstanding resource and it is wonderful to be able to direct people to the...

Absolutely John. Especially when they are struggling themselves 'Why the hell should i struggle & go through all this, draggin myself out of bed every morning and finishing every day knackered beyond belief, when you lot are sat on your fat arses watching daytime tv & eating crisps". The...

yes 5-10 mins in uk too @Mij Well they used to be booked in 10 minute sessions, but by the time you get in there & get sat down... they want it to take 5 mins because they have too many patients for the working day. Of course since the pandemic you can only get a face to face if the doctor...

from the article... That just made me laugh! I dont know which planet she lives on, but suggesting to a UK GP that you brainstorm, and turning up with copious notes, will only provoke the dismissal you are trying to avoid. And its all very well saying you dont need to be a 'good patient' but...

Oh, good grief Sam, sometimes you make it impossible for me to breathe :rofl:

@Jonathan Edwards if you have time & energy I'm sure i not the only one who'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on all this.

You are absolutely not alone in that Barry! :)

I get it intermittently too rvallee, its miserable. I once had it where i just couldnt lie flat without vomiting at all & had to attempt to sleep on a wedge & only on my left side. It started for me with the virus that triggered the ME - which involved an 'everything' kind of infection - both...

I love Oliver Burkeman he book is very good & he used to have a column, i think in the Guardian that was excellent

@Jonathan Edwards Id say an apology is definitely due. You have shown yourself here to be completely unbiased in your approach to evidence quality, of all types. I felt quite outraged & indignant when i read them digging at you like that!
