Ironing

My OH thinks ironing is an unnecessary waste of time, but I like to have my clothes ironed, also bedding, tea towels and towels (because oddly enough it makes them softer!). It's also the time I remove all the cat hairs from my clothes and do any mending.
Needless to say I don't iron OH's clothes!

I wish I could find plain ironing board covers too!

Nylon sheets - an abomination! So much static! My hair was always sticking to the bedding and my face!

As a teenager, I loved ironing. I'd do all my family's on a Saturday morning, then after lunch I'd catch a bus to my boyfriend's house and do all his family's! Then his Mum and I would settle in front of the tv with a tray of tea and biscuits to watch the wresting. (Yes, I did marry him and my love affair with the iron fell by the wayside. I still enjoy pressing handkerchiefs and pillowslips, though.)

Oops, sorry - wrestling (nobody was trying to wrest the iron from my fevered hands...)

I meant to say I remember nylon sheets, purchased by my very busy mother, they used to spark when you turned over in the night. They were very soon biffed.

Ha they did. We had bright orange ones.

Having two sons I can remember taking practically a whole afternoon ironing shirts, trousers etc.
Recently, I brought this up with a young mother who mentioned her sons have clothes that don’t need ironing

I always iron clothes and bedding. Really cannot imagine not doing so. I don’t like it but I do it while watching TV so times passes quickly.

The ‘non iron’ fabrics rarely are non iron.
