leaving after school tomorrow for a long weekend of camping. I haven't even started packing yet, tell me I don't need to iron all the clothes we will be taking?

[Overmydeadbody]

Because almost everythin we will be taking is in a huge ironing pile after having been wshed after last weekend's camping.

#i really can't be bothered to iron it.

Does it matter if I just shove it all into the rucksack without ironing it? Just straighten each thing and rollit up into a sausage?

I have a stinking cold.

I am not in the mood to pack anyway.

Tell me I will get better in time to enjoy a weekend under canvas?

Sod the clothes - dump them all in the biggest bag that you can find and squash under your feet. They are only going to get creased and filty anyway (esp if like my kids)
Sit back a pour a large class of wine (better for colds than lemsip). I went last week with a stinking cold and found that I could breathe better in the fresh air.

Who iron's anyway??? I never iron in day to day life.

Just straighten out and roll into sausages and pack in the rucksack.

God, defn not worth ironing - but if you have a chance, roll everything as you're packing it - will make things slightly less creased

(I should be packing for our weekend under canvas in West Whittering...)

Nah, don't bother ironing. You might feel a bit scuzzy but if you're ill your ill.

ooh, you've just reminded me, I think we might have an iron, no idea how it works though

lol Judy

Thanks everyone, I feel better now. You are all right, they will only get creased and muddy and wet anyway.

If I had wine I would be drinking it. I will certainly be packing it for the weekend

Am not looking forward to the journey though, a mad cycle to the train station to catch the train with a friggin great rucksack on, a train journey and two bus journeys till we reach the campsite. Total travelling time: 4 hrs

Ironing for camping , better stamping onthe clothes with mud now to save any bother later.

Why, oh why, would you even thing about ironing anything that is going camping???

Take Lemsip (or whatever), hot toddy and put feet up: nobody likes a cougher in a tent !!

Yes, why was I contemplating ironing it all?! It must be this stinking cold. I'm not thinking straight.

Hope you are feeling tons better today OMDB and are looking forward to your camping trip.

How are you today OMDB? I hope you are feeling better, remember to pack the whisky for that cold.

It can't take you that long to pack, you being a minimalist an' all, surely you just throw a bit of old tarpaulin, a pan and a box of matches into a knapsac and bobs your uncle?

Irpon?

Oh goodness no

DH nicks the fuses from my two (I tried two in the hope of stoping him) as fast as I repair them, haven't had an iron useable for months

they go in those under the bed bags in the boot carrier

however I can pack for 6 including a toddler in under an hour
