How much do you hate Ironing!!!!

14 Jul 2006

I have spent over 18hours in the past 2 days ironing for the entire house (there is only 4 of us!)
I have just discovered muscles in my arms I never knew existed! biggrin

Any one else hate ironing or any tips on how to get it done without it taking half of the week?

14 Jul 2006

ive never actually tried ironing a house??? surprised it didnt actually take you longer lol
my tip is, buy clothes that dont need much ironing, tumble dry everything and fold it straight away, that way less to iron.
failing all that turn naturists. :twisted:
any tips on saving time on chores leaving more time for fun is always a good idea

Rammy does the ironing in the morning for the kids uniforms and his shirt for the day... other than that we only iron the clothes when they are needed.
Have you tried drinking cocktails or learning french at the same time? Might make the time go quicker! lol

Dont have space for a tumble dryer in our house, had to make avery difficult decission last year dunno

Tumble dryer or Dishwasher.
If I had of chosen the tumble dryer I would now be typing from the top of the biggest washing up pile in the world lol

I agree there is four of usa in the house and i spend a large amount of my time doing bloody ironing too, only thing i have found to stop being bored is having my lap top on top of the iron board confused

Unfortunatly i cannot iron my hubbies ironing as it hides the screen of my laptop lol

but if i had my way i would love allllll of the human race to go to the tiume of adam and eve and let us all wear fig leaves in the summer months..................................

My tip is wear jeans and tee shirts every day, tumble dry and fold. I never Iron piles of ironing, my kids have creases and so does Storm! redface

If I earned enough I would send my ironing out to be done so we could all be crease free, but I'm afraid I don't and I also don't have anymore hours in the day after work, Mumming, wifeing and daily dose of Swinging Heavening to be doing ironing.
