Now dear readers, I may need advice.
I cleaned and scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen. My place is spotless for the first time in a long time.
Yes, I maybe able to lure her back to my place, my date, but I'm struggling to change the bed sheets.
Normally a guy doesn't worry about that when there's no one to impress. We just get new new ones when the others disintegrate and spray with a healthy dose of fly-spray to keep those bedbugs under control. Water is a precious resource in OZ and you don't want to be doing any unnecessay washing for environmental reasons of cause.
Now back to the problem. These are elastic sort of sheets. As soon as I get one side of the bed done and try the other, the first side comes loose and jumps up It's like being caught in an endless-loop. You have to have 6 foot arms to make a bed or be an octopus.
Any suggestions welcome.

You’re 60+ years old and you haven’t mastered fitted sheets? That’s the leap from agnosticism to atheism right there. Clearly there is no god. Come back the first time you try to fold those bastards.

Dear Chef, I hope in a future re-incarnation I will master the art of sheeting a bed.
Always keep a brand new, unused sheet in the closet. When you're ready to bring her home put it on before you go out. I prefer deep pocket sheets from Target (don't know if you have them there). Deep pockets stay on better as you are putting the sheets on. The ones I buy even have tags to tell you if it is the top or side. And brand new sheets feel exquisite!

Dear CopperPenny, us guys don't think that much into the future and besides my closet is full of unused camping gear. No room for anything else.
you could use it to get her to your house?!?!?!?! Plead helplessness--haha--just kidding. Reminds of a date I went on a couple of weeks ago--Him: Do you mind if we stop by my house on the way to dinner? I am having issues in the kitchen you might be able to give me some advice on. Me: Well,............I guess so,What kind of problem? Him: I just moved in and I need help organizing my cupboards and drawers. Me: You are kidding, right? Third and final date. If your sheets aren't the ones to fit these new really thick mattresses, no amount of gymnastics, cursing, or ritual is going to get them on.

That's what I'm thinking might be going on as well. I have one of those memory foam pads on top so I need to remember to get the deep pocket fitted sheets as well.
Dear Karenl, I would call that exploitation of us male kind. Flagrant abuse of males to get them to solve your kitchen problems. Oops I think I got a gas leak in my kitchen. Are you any good with a spanner?
Oy! Fly spray. That is gnarly. Start top right and work around to bottom right, bottom left then end with top left. Or maybe a blanket on the ground?

Dear Gatekeeper, you heard about a flea circus? Well I'm trying to personally train these little buggers for a bed bug circus. Drop into my boudoir and view the progress.
@jules4169 Uh huh. You just want me to make your bed for you. I know your kind. But, considering you are below the equator, you may have better luck starting at top left, moving to bottom left, bottom right then finishing up with top right.
When ask what super power I would chose, I’ve often said the ability to know which corner of the bed sheet I’m holding.
