To avoid doing what I should be doing as it's so boring.

gracesmum your thread gave me a good laugh.great way of dealing with ironing!
Greatnan ironing on the floor! thought of it make my back ache.I couldn't get up and down.
I do minimal ironing- usually whilst watching TV .or listening to a good CD.

my mother told me she ironed my diapers and I was the youngest of three.I think she was pleased to have me cause of a miscarriage before me.

I have a friend (honest!) who hated housework so used to run the hoover - unplugged - up and down the carpet so it made wheel marks and then sprayed the air with furniture polish so that her DH thought she had done the housework!! i have to admit I have done the spray polish bit before now but not the hoover marks!

You'd think if she took the time to Hoover for marks she might as well of plugged it in!

If you feel like ironing - lie down on settee until feeling goes away!

I now have two baskets of ironing!! Went to visit a friend celebrating their birthday and six of us sat in the sun eating chocolate cake.

I have a closet full of clothes and seem to pick the wash and wear clothes over the Always ironed ones.

Oh chocolate cake everytime Bez Is there anyone out there who would rather iron???

Well I am avoiding cooking the evening meal, DD is doing it for a change and I am having a glass of red.

Before you start ironing, just make sure what you buy. There are more non-iron clothes in the shop than ones that need ironing!

Another good tip: you never need to chop onions again, you can buy them frozen, ready-chopped and much neater than you would do it by hand.

The above two tips came after I broke my right shoulder - and you know what? It was worth it!
