to prioritise clean bathroom over ironed sheets?

[madcapcat]

Not got long so will keep as brief as poss. Much loved friends coming to stay tonight at fairly short notice for 2 days. What with domestic emergencies, f/t work and unexpected pressures due to bloody election being called I have 1 hour left before they arrive. I've changed the bed ready but clean sheet seems a bit crumpled. AIBU to prioritise cleaning the bathroom and cooking a nice meal over taking the sodding thing off and ironing it?

[candlelit35]

Chuck a throw over it if you are worried and crack on with the other stuff!

[madcapcat]

Or just get them pissed so they don't notice / care?

[SweetDee33]

Clean bathroom every time!

[rosesandcashmere]

Bathroom more important, use bathroom cleaner and wipe with kitchen roll for a quick shine! Is bedding that bad? Most will shake out, if not plug iron in nearby and push steam out all over it. Will relax it xx

[littleblackno]

Do people really iron sheets?

[NorksAkimbo72]

Omg...ironing sheets??!! No, do not waste time on ironed sheets. If she gives a toss about crumpled sheets, she's no friend!

[mirime]

I never iron sheets! I'd prioritise the bathroom definitely.

[MrsTwix]

Sheets need ironing?! Who knew

Seriously life is too short to iron stuff. Clean sheets clean bathroom, job done have a

[WorraLiberty]

If I ever ironed sheets, my friends would assume I'd taken leave of my senses

[CassandraAusten]

YANBU. I'm another one who never irons sheets (much to MIL's distress).

[MrsT2007]

Who irons sheets?! Pillowcases maybe if they're scrunched up but sheets and duvet covers....nooo

Bathroom definitely

[RedBugMug]

ironing sheets?
no way!
clean bathroom is clearly more important

[madcapcat]

THank fuck! * Very conscious that this is a first world domestic slut problem ...

Ta all.

[madcapcat]

And no - would never iron them just for us :-)

[jellyshoeswithdiamonds]

Run the iron over top of made bed, but I'm a bit bonkers like that.

[Bantanddec]

I've never ironed a sheet on my life!! Who gives a shit? You go to bed in the dark.

[abbsisspartacus]

Don't bother I'm suspicious of straight sheets I think they havnt been cleaned

[SquatBetty]

Ironing sheets is bonkers - concentrate on the bathroom!

[TiredMumToTwo]

Yes run iron over made bed.

[Ethylred]

OP are you the prime minister? Ask that nice man Jeremy Corbyn round to help.

[topcat2014]

Do tell more about the unexpected pressures caused by the election - are you an MP?

Otherwise, what pressures does it cause?

Oh, and prioritise everything over ironing sheets - :)

[Justmadeperfectflapjacks]

Have you got a tumble dryer? 20 mins to get them smooth!!

[AChickenCalledKorma]

I am not the OP but i do work in local government. Plenty of people running round like headless chickens where i work due to the unexpected election. Especially the people who have to make it happen at very short notice (book polling stations, recruit staff, print poll cards ...... these things don't just happen!)

[ScarlettFreestone]

I iron sheets!!

However as a guest I'd much prefer a clean bathroom and a meal than ironed sheets.

I'd also be upset that my hostess was worrying about sheets when I'd just be terribly grateful that she was kindly putting me up at short notice.

[skislope]

People iron sheets?!?!?!?
