to not do the ironing and drink wine instead...

[BlueCollie]

I have just done the Shred DVD, had a shower and about to tackle the increasingly huge ironing pile (mostly my sons clothes as I basically live in tracksuit bottoms ) and just pour myself a huge glass of red wine instead.......ironing is my husbands job but he isn't back until April....not sure I can leave it till then

YANBU.

YABU for even contemplating ironing in the first place

Agree with coconuts :o

Stupid pointless question.

Of course you can leave it till April

You're not being unreasonable but I really don't see any need for that sort of language. I really don't expect to log in to MN and see expletives like I**ning on the front page with no warning.

I'm proper traumatised now and will have to pour myself a large glass of wine to get over it

Drink the wine fgs!!

Do not iron clothes. How old is your son? If he's little he doesn't need ironed clothes, if he's big he can do it himself and you can drink wine.

Pikey is racist. There was a big thread on it the other day. I would think before you use it next time!

I didn't use it. I was responding flippantly to the person who did, or I thought...

it actually makes me think of pikelets - those little perforated muffins. Far preferable to a stinky argument stemming from an ironing discussion (again).

I drank wine and did the ironing just couldn't leave it any longer...it was just hanging about ruining my peace. My son is one and I just can't let him wear really creased clothes although I don't go so far as to iron his nappies

Sorry Bambood I was talking to troisgarcons

See what you've started now BlueCollie? I blame the I**ning...no good ever comes of it!!

well Thingumy if that's your middle name, I'd keep schtum.

Don't worry Tragically Hip. Getting abuse from Thingumy. Time to call it a night for me!

I am disturbed deeply by the idea of ironing for a one year old BlueCollie

You see that big box with heat settings on the front? Put the clothes in that after washing, and they come out all dry and warm and UNWRINKLY

Let's be honest, who is going to look at a darling, adorable one year old and think "Fuck! His mother hasn't ironed his jeans!"

Ok, just making sure you knew I wasn't having a dig!

Didn't realise it was racist myself the other day!

It really is impossible to just have a stupid, pointless, thread on here without someone starting an arguement isn't it....who knew ironing could do this to people
I know where your coming from with the ironing for a one year old but despite shaking them out to hang to dry or using tumble dryer they are still really bloody creased. I have no idea why and my friends think I'm nuts for doing it. Maybe my mothers need to iron everything has worn off on me as she even irons tea towels!!!!!

Tea Towels? That's craziness!

Last thing I ironed were some trousers for a job interview 6 years ago.. I don't even think I own an iron.

Who the hell irons kids clothes.. WHY would you bother? Fold them straight from the line/dryer and you wouldn't know otherwise.

My Mum irons everything except pants and socks. I don't give a shit if my bedding isn't flat ironed.

Christ.. I've got more important things to waste my time on
