flippin'eck you dould've done yourself a mischief

Had a friend who used to plug the iron in at the side of the bed and iron the sheets and quilt cover when the bed had been made.

Seriously???

I only iron sheets/duvet covers if anyone other than us is going to see them -- and that is not very often.

Did used to iron for a lady in next village when I was a teen cos sheets etc all had to be ironed and it was bladdy hard work cos everything was super creased and iron was not that great! Have a steam generator one now and it makes ironing a breeze!!

For a household that does as little ironing as possible/ I'm amazed how many irons we have got through.

Gosh... don't think I'll be spending time on perfect towel folding any time soon.


This made me laugh though:
YouTube - Japanese way of folding T-shirts!

[Pumpkin Becki]

In my defence...I don't actually iron the fitted sheet before I fold it...I think that would be a step toooooo far for me.

I have never, ever, ever ironed a bed sheet or quilt cover of any sort....

Me neither, why would you? Actually I only iron about once a year, just smooth things down and shape up when wet at other time and avoid buying stuff that would look like a rag.

Likewise. The purpose of the iron is for that iron-on mending stuff when the new trousers are too long!
I think between us we have half-a-dozen garments that might be worth ironing, and most of those are only worn on 'special occasions'.

I iron as needed - mainly work stuff. Mr OWG wears white shirts to work, which he irons himself.

Since we tend to line-dry, or airer-dry; stuff doesn't get that crumpled (and the chickens and dogs don't care if I wear rumpled clothes anyway!)

[Two_Sheds]

I never ironed until I met Mr TS. He wears cotton shirts to work, and has many, many tee/rugby/polo shirts that he refuses to wear if creased even a little bit.
Thing that made me cross was, he'd cram so many on a rail that they all had to be ironed again.

I've just today had fitted wardrobes put in by a mate. I'm just about to go up and fill them. And they'll be sorted by colour: wanna see photos? lol

If OH needs things ironing then he can do his own seeing as he's a fully grown adult and we both work Funily enough he doesn't iron much either.

Same here and same applies to my daughters.

T_S where's these photos then ....We're waiting.

Funnily enough, I was just about to ask the same thing!
My late OH was the ironer in our house - he used to wreck irons though - roughly one every 12 months. My new one has lasted 2 years 4 months now!

[binley100]

I buy them cheap from tezzies now. abot £7 for a steam iron . Does me and if it gets dropped not too much money spent!
