Oh no......I may have to iron!! (

Just done a week’s worth of ironing listening to the last part of the Cromwell trilogy on BBC Sounds. Almost didn’t notice I was doing it ?
My mother in law never ironed. She used to put sheets under her cushion and sit on them to watch TV. ?

DD1 never does any ironing ( it explains her crumpled look)?
I wait until I have a basket worth of stuff to do then listen to the radio and get on with it.

Only time my iron comes out of hibernation is when it gets Pat tested each year. Moved into a new flat over 20 years ago and swore I was never going to iron again, and I haven't!

I’ve just finished mine, I enjoy it as well.....

My cleaner is working from home, she contacts me on FaceTime and tells me how to clean each room and where to find the equipment........

Well here's one who enjoys ironing. It's a domestic chore that allows your mind to wander as it is such an easy task to do. The time passes very quickly but I never let my ironing get too much that 15 mins completes the job for normal.

KateK I have had to get reacquainted with my iron and ironing board, I actually found it very soothing

I do miss my lovely cleaner though, I only hope she will not be disappointed by my cleaning

elegran my grandmother used to do that very thing! You took your life in your hands walking along a very lumpy hall runner! She also used to fold bed sheets and place them under the mattress to press them along with my uncles’ trousers!

I had to go and find my iron a couple of days ago to iron my bedding and pillowcases drastic measures for me to plug in the "hissy thing" I have 3 bed sets that all match my curtains so had to do the business or my bedroom would be mismatched and that will never do.

I hate ironing with a passion, so I don't, unless absolutely necessary.
I think of it as doing my bit for the ozone layer!

Oh dear, please please keep what I've said about my WP secret, he'd be mortified if he knew I've told you?

Don't do it!?
I've got an excuse as it's dangerous for me to do because I have epilepsy and have seizures where I carry out actions automatively but am not aware that I am doing so. We have a clothes press which is kept upstairs which on occasion (though not exactly often ?) my wonderful partner has been known to use.
I don't know why but he always seems to manage to look a bit more crumpled than I do?! He likes to dress quite smart, yet ...??

Under the carpet works even better,as you walk over it daily (vey old hint). It is a good idea to lay brown paper above and below it, though, or it needs to be washed again before it is worn.

I'm with you Pantglas2. No iron. No ironing board. NEVER EVER.

Sometimes things need flattening out a bit. I fold them and put them in a drawer.

I'd rather have one of those presses, the type that are used in the laundry.

Surely not.....times will never be that bad!

I’m with you Katek - I even bought an iron and ironing board last week as we didn’t own one! Did the ironing and didn’t hate it as much as I thought but I will definitely be having my ironing lady back when all this has finished.

First world problems and all that
