Seriously though, I just don't have the hours in the day. I'm working 6 days a week, 2 days are 12 hr shifts. DH is also very busy. We have two small kids and the ironing is insane. I don't know how to keep it tidy and out of the way. Ideally I should iron every day to tackle the load but I'm just so tired and busy that its growing daily. I don't know if I could justify and ironing lady

If you have any tips or advice as to how to keep the ironing under some kind of control or to avoid binning the lot please keep me posted lol

I don't iron 😂 25 shirts a week here so no way am I ironing! DH does his own work shirts. Tumble dry then hang straight away and they don't crease

1 wash a day, finish off in the tumble dryer and put away each night whilst DS is reading / settling in bed.
Only iron the bare minimum
