Ironing

[missprim]

I hate ironing and I'm seriously thinking of contacting one of those 'We do your ironing' companies.
Have you ever used them or know someone who has, and are they expensive?

[coccinelle]

You might find it cheaper giving your clothes to somebody local ie someone needing a bit of extra cash. They usually advertise in the local PO or newsagent's.

there is a laundrette near me that does a big bag of ironing for £5 pounds per bag

I enjoy ironing so I havent tried anywhere out

I'm with 2SP (despite her cake slur), I have an iron somewhere, but not entirely sure where, not used it for years.

[cazzz1975]

I should rephrase that to "I like ironed clothes"

its more about the after than the before

Folk do 2sp - my mother is one; everything has to be pressed. If she is watching tv, her hands have to be occuppied, ironing, tapestries, knitting - not that she can remember doing it or the programmes on the goggle-box.

[coccinelle]

I agree, there's nothing nicer than seeing a pile of pressed clothes ie the job is done!

[missprim]

Wish I could do that 2shortplanks but I'm one of those that irons everything.
I've tried not ironing certain things especially the ones that are 'non iron' but I always end up ironing them!
Might look in the local paper but I've never seen it advertised before.

"there's nothing nicer than seeing a pile of pressed clothes ie the job is done! "

Yes there is- someone else doing it :-)

I bought one of those big steam generator jobbies and although I don't exactly enjoy ironing now, it's certainly made it more bearable.

There's an ad in my local newsagents, a lady offering to come to your house and do it for you. (Well, not YOUR house, MP, as she doesn't know where you live). :o)

My cleaner does my ironing..................

[craft1948]

I'm not 2short..................I'm lazy :-)

[missprim]

I bought one of those steam generators too but I hate it even more with all the steam I get too warm.
Craft, perhaps I should get a cleaner as I hate housework too :-)

[craft1948]

Go for it MissPrim.................2 hours a week and the house is cleaned through and all the ironing done.
Ahem I also have a gardener.................

''Collar and chest, and bu66er the rest!'' (Navy term for ironing shirts).

[mrs.chappie]

You've not got in on full-bore have you, MP? I can set mine so that you think you're in a sauna, or you can barely notice any steam.

Being a bloke I hate ironing....but I have said to myself this bank holiday weekend, im going to iron all my work shirts in one go!(Ive got about 15 or so) - normally I wash them, and then wear a jumper over the top - but if the weather is getting warmer, needs must

Probably will end up doing 1 or 2, then seeing whats on the telly though....
