Tell me it's not just me, who has a few items that I can't bear to tackle? I half attempted a Burberry style spring jacket, but it has to be ironed on a cool setting, but is still wrinkly. And Christ knows how I'm going to attempt to do the sleeves. What's your 'Oh, I'll get it later item?

Used to be DHs shirts (casual wear) when he worked nights but now he has a bank job so can't ignore them now Grin

2 years mrsdavidbowie? I'm impressed! She obviously doesn't need it though, just hang it in her wardrobe and be done with it!

What's an ironing basket?

SqueezyCheeseWeasel · 17/04/2015 19:13

Everything!

I don't do the 'ironing pile'. Stuff gets ironed 'on demand'. Not literally, its put away after washing and ironed before wearing rather than ironed before putting away as I find stuff needs re-ironing once it comes out of the wardrobe/drawer so decided to quit the first pointless stage. DH's shirts are sent out for ironing because we both hate doing them.

Yeah I don't have a basket, moreso towers Angry

The only way I see the bottom of my ironing pile is after I've paid someone to do it for me!

Apart from that, I can't be bothered to iron curtains, bed linen or boxer shorts.

Once a year DH goes to a black tie dinner. His dress shirt lives at the bottom of the ironing pile all year and is ironed on a "need to iron" basis only. I don't think it has ever seen the inside of the wardrobe.

nothing as I don't iron anything, cant remember the last time I got the iron out. Have seen DS occasionally iron a shirt in the last few months and that's
it. ironing is overrated.

An ironing pile???
I can't actually remember the last time I ironed something but would if it needed it but I would just put all the clothes away and then iron something if it happened to need it. When I wanted to wear it. Bloody hell if I kept all my clothes in a pile waiting to be ironed my wardrobes would be emptyShock
