This is an age old subject so apologies. At art class yesterday I discovered that no one except me ironed much (I dont iron underwear towels old work clothes ). One lady who always looks smart and fashionable doesnt iron her clothes! No one at all irons duvet covers. I changed my bed this morning and put my nice smooth clean duvet cover and pillow cases on. and the bed looks lovely. The one I took off is washed dry and folded. It looks all creased and wrinkly. Really. Does everyone put it on the bed like this??

I don't do much ironing here. My husband does his own shirts and jeans. Occasionally I will do a shirt for him but mostly I don't have things that need ironing. I have recently cleaned out the linen press and washed and ironing everything and put it back in. That felt good. I had a really good clean out. It must be a blue moon though, I don't do this often at all.

I don't iron unless I have to. My mum always loved ironing, probably because she learned to iron with old fashioned irons you heated on the fire, an electric iron was so much easier.
