To think its ok to send my ironing out?

[elliemac]

Have discovered this fab ironing lady just down the road from me but DH keeps moaning that i'm sending it out all the time. Its just such a relief to bung it in a bag and have it all come back nicely pressed. Am a SAHM so should i be making time to do it myself?

Get your feet up in front of the tele! Have you got a glass of wine?

why are some folk getting in such a fankle about whether someone else sends out their own ironing. as i said before if u can afford it ellie - why not

as for "lazy" well seems that we all have vices and whittle time away blethering on MN....so if it is lazy not to iron is it lazy to chat on MN

pot
calling
kettle

I would f i could but as i seem to be able to dry things without em needing ironing i don't.You are right your child is more important than ironing!and even if you used some time for you so what.I think being at home is far more knackering than work[prob in a different way]and so does dp.You are not being unreasonable

What's a fankle, Scottishmummy? Is it Scottish dialect?

Maybe if i did some ironing it would stop me watching shite on the TV! Am right into that Dirty Dancing programme with Jennifer wotsit - Holy shit! Thats sad. Maybe i should unpack the bags!!!

I understood you Scottishmummy! I'm a jock too

i am frequently in a fankle
"awww naw cannae dae the ironing im in a fankle"

Fankle" - originating from the Gaelic word "fang" for a sheepfold, to fankle someting is to tangle it as in "the wool got fankled and stopped me from knitting".

As a noun, it can also be a state of confusion "Dinna get yourself into a fankle"

Thanks, Scotsmummy. Shall remember it for Scrabble.

LOL

Give yourself a pat on the back. I could never have explained fankle!! A fankle is just a fankle

Is a fankle a tangle?

Aye lassie it is!!! Can be a kind of muddle tae!!

if tangle means getting in a state/harrassed eg
"im in a tangle thinking about ellies ironing"

sound s similar

Ellie - where in Scotland do you live?

Balamory (not really i live in Ayrshire)

My family come from Scotland....well my Dad's family - I've been doing a lot of ancestry research since my Dad died and I've been on hols up there too - amazing part of the world.

malo for christs sake read tha bloody thread and take my comments in the context they were written!

Bree and I had crossed words which we sorted out, so why are you annoyed at me?

oh and ellie: I am not jealous re ssd's comments and ironing...NO NO NO!!! No thank you....

It is a lovely area. Take it for granted most of the time. I could take my ironing board out to the garden and look out over the hills - AAAAAaaaaaah!!!

ssd - I have read the 'bloody thread' thank you. I have taken your comments in the 'context they were written'. Thank you. Anything else?

nice view aye, but bet ye would still get the scunner wi the ironing

I'm not being the referee!!!

Ellie - the Scots were lovely too - so friendly and accommodating. Just wish it wasn't such a long drive for us to get up there.

LOL - The scunner ..

Where are you MALO?
