Good Housekeeping/Bad Housekeeping!

What does ‘ ironed’ mean ? Is this it ?
I was thinking of the Iron Man competition.

Only see the top side of pillowcases so no point ironing the lot.
Doing as little as I can get away with but do clean bathroom and kitchen for health reasons.

Now I have all the time in the world I have become very lazy. I think it's because no one might turn up unexpectedly.

Cant remember the last time I ironed having said that I don’t have a husband whose shirts would need ironing so no need

The ironing has been looking at me for three days so far...........

I don't iron bed linen. I did once and got into a muddle and that was enough for me!

Oh yes, you don't want to risk that happening again.

Three days, luluaugust? Mine usually sits for three weeks. A couple of items get added every wash. Mostly cotton jumpers, but I do iron pillow cases

I've put the Hoover and the duster thingy on the landing - is that enough?

In fact..... I asked dh to do it - no point overdoing it!

Speaking of ironing!
When Dd was about 3, she was watching me fold washing from the dryer and putting things to iron, in a cupboard.
She peeped in and asked what was in there and I told her, it was where I hid the ironing.
A few da

Sorry posted too soon!
A few days later, my husband asked, what was all this about hiding ironing.
Apparently, she'd took him by the hand and told him she had a secret, pointed at the cupboard and told him, that's where mummy hides her ironing..????

Ironing the 'top side' wouldn't work for me as I'm always turning the pillow over to the cool side. I change pillowcases every other day - so no point in ironing them.

Every other day

My ironing pile is like an archeological dig - if I ever get to the bottom of the pile I will probably find my son’s school shirts. He’ll be 38 this year.

There's not much that I iron. The occasional dressy item, or hubby's dress shirts.

I do remember that my mother ironed everything, including underwear. We sometimes helped, but I think she preferred doing it herself (also to her standards(.

I never iron. I used to have the occasional piece of clothing that needed it, but those have long since fallen apart and been chucked away.

My GS does have a few linen pieces that could do with ironing. But given that as soon as he's in them, they're rumpled and hanging, there's no point!

I used to iron everything, sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, everything that was washed. I moved to this house in June 2019. The iron and ironing board are still in the shed waiting to be unpacked never gonna happen. Has anyone noticed that nothing is ironed anymore? Nope!

I Iron as I need it...not very often..
Fold and smooth where needed..
Bedding ,never.
Only thing crumpled and creased is me

I love ironing. Just saying!

' What a sucker '

I bought a Hoover some years ago
- a machine that's considered a ' must '
but I've thrown it away because , you know,
It was only gathering dust !

Never iron unless I have to . I have to more in summer because of cotton and linen. My mum loved ironing and used o do mine. My eldest DS took over ironing his shirts when he was about 14. He does them better than I ever did. I think it skipped a generation!
I'm still trying to figure out the Bad housekeeping in the OP. All looks good to me. Could what my gran taught me-stuff the newspapers and magazines under the settee cushions when visitors arrive -count?

You actually iron bedding!!
