making life easier

Ive always ironed sitting down, and since retirement when DH doesn't have loads of uniform shirts and I don't have office wear , I tend to iron once a month. Its heaven :-)

My ironing board is still in its packaging and no doubt will stay there as it has been for at least a couple of years. I do not buy linen clothes or anything that looks as though it definitely needs to be ironed. My bedding is fine after a night in bed.

Wouldn't it be lovely if you could send the ironing here, and I send you my flowerbeds to weed?

I am finding weeding exceptionally tiring these days, but ironing, hoovering or washing floors are still all right.

There's nowt so queer as folk, is there?

I tried sitting down to iron but I was too low and it made my arms ache.

I have sat down to iron in the past when I pulled the ligaments on my leg and couldn’t stand . I actually quite like ironing so don’t normally mind including the standing. I always put on a favourite CD before I start. I can’t stand un-ironed pillow cases so always do bed linen.
