Ironing!
It isn't my favourite pastime but I tend to nip backwards and forwards between the ironing and doing other things and whilst I was in the other room just now ironing a shirt a thought occurred to me.

I don't know very many people who actually enjoy ironing although I did know a lovely lady once who positively loved it. She even volunteered to do mine! She passed away a few years ago and was probably an endangered species at the time.

What I was wondering was if anyone else uses a sleeve board these days? My mother always used to use one. She also used to iron towels which I don't see the point of because they are much softer and fluffier if you don't. I wonder if any of us have any funny little ironing habits or do you just like to get it over with and forgotten about as quickly as possible?

I'd best get back to those shirts................
 
I've never got on very well with irons. They have a tendancy to burn me, and I have a bad habit of dropping them.:)
 
Sorry but I'm not gonna offer to do your ironing aswell as my own - I think the lady who loved ironing is a myth - you've more chance of seeing the Loch Ness Monster!
 
Pass on the sleeve board. As for towels, that is to scary to contemplate. If you can't see it, it doesn't get ironed, that is my rule anyway. I usually try and do the ironing after cooking a meal. Then whoever else is in the house has to wash up, i can't do both.
 
I am a scruff and never bother to iron. If people came out and did the same then you would have a better life! It's a complete waste of time. Bet you would rather be doing something else.

I agree wayneyboy, When I moved to Accy, I gave my iron and board to my fiance:D so unfortunately, the ironing is down to her:p Hey, Willow, have you seen my blue shirt.....?
 
BLUE SHIRT!!!! That's the only one I didn't have time to do this morning. I did have a business meeting this afternoon.:p

(I'm open to suggestions of what to do with his blue shirt. :D )
 
wots ironing i gave that up a few yrs ago its a boring work load, you have my sympathy willow i used to iron 7 whit shirts & 5 white overalls+ 10 pinnys per weekend used to do my head in
 
So you can appreciate my joy at knowing that my 13 year old daughter goes to probably the only local senior school which still insist on white blouses with tie?
 
Busman will tell you he isn't a bus driver he's a coach driver. So you might wonder why he called himself Busman and not Coachman! :rolleyes: . Any suggestions for that blue shirt? ;)
