to be on mumsnet rather than doing the ironing?

[mumofbumblebea]

and does being pregnant somehow, by some stretch of the imagination, make this ok?

YANBU. Being pregnant is an excuse for everything

YANBU, but WTF does pregnancy have to do with it?

Ironing is a Filthy Habit and should be stamped out! YABU for even mentioning such a disgusting activity and need to Get A Grip and STOP! Just Say NO!

What is this word ironing you speak of?

YANBU. I've started ironing but decided I don't like it much and have cone back on here.

by all means ditch the ironing, but please dont blame it on the P work (not not Precious)

yanbu - I don't do ironing at all. don't even know where my iron is.

I'm not pregnant so don't have that excuse. I'm supposed to be writing an essay on reproductive technologies and the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act 1990. Want to swap?

Just don't get confused Kladd because if you iron the essays and hand in the clothes you'll have buggered two jobs for the price of one! :o

I do not own an iron. The amount of meaningful family time MNing this has afforded me is very precious

I Mumsnet while I'm ironing. Or while I'm stacking the dishwasher / cleaning the fridge. I have my phone sitting on the ironing board or the worktop.

Does that mean I need help?

You don't feel irony thats all there is too it (see pedants corner for explanation)

Anyways, what is this 'ironing' that you speak of?

Andrew, I couldn't be more confused if I tried. I think my brain melted and leaked out of me ears somewhere between intracytoplasmic sperm injection and gamete intrafallopian transfer.

Kladdkaka we are siblings in the soul! :o

Empress I suspect it means you've got more hands than the usual issue!

Andrew I get help from my pet octopus

If we tell you YABU will you go and do the ironing?

Nothing needs ironing anyway, just stretch your t-shirt over your pregnant belly and that will stretch out all the wrinkles.

Empress I MN while cooking / doing the laundry.

I don't iron. Ever.

OP YANBU. You're pregnant. Put your feet up.

I can multi task!

I have a steam press so the clothes get pressed, I can mumsnet and watch tv all at the same time!

Good me ain't I

Oh and all that while sat on the sofa.

I only iron DD's school shirts and DP's work stuff. DP bribes me with chocolate.

YouHaveNoPower, tell me about your steam press.....

well ironing done...just about 30 hours later than originally planned
i would also like to hear about this steam press

It was from Argos! Very shiny! I get through a full load of ironing in about 20mins. Probably less if I wasn't MNing.

It fits on me coffee table do I can sit on sofa while doing the clothes!
This last couple weeks no one has worn a creased item of clothing, unlike never having a single piece ironed previously.

I have burned my self a few times though.

And on that note, gonna make me a cup
Of tea, get the steam press out and watch Torchowood!

Know how to live the high life me!

'Iron' should only ever, ever be a noun, and not anything else. OK, I'll make an exception for 'Element in the Periodic Table'.
