Ironing sheets?

[wheresthevalium]

Just a quick survey because my new boyfriend said that he always irons his

How many of you iron yours?

Life is way too short, No

God no. Not a chance. Dry flat, nothing else needed.

nope!

ffs, what next?

He's having you on. It's not possible to iron a sheet unless you have a room with a big sheet ironing machine like in hotels.

Yes I do, although if I am changing the bed and don't have a sheet in the cupboard, then I will take one off the ironing pile and use it un-ironed. I don't have fitted sheets or duvets though - if I did, I probably wouldn't bother.

i LOVE sleeping in ironed sheets, but as i am far too lazy to do it myself, the only time i get the chance is when we stay in a hotel.
(oh look, flying pigs..}

Ah, but he only has his DD every other weekend so apparently has time for it!

He is a bit of a neat freak, so I think he might have meant it aaargh

Marry him!

I mean it. And I have a dh and four children to look after.

lol Hathor, may well do that, at least I could afford a cleaner then, and I would have time for trivialities like ironing sheets

Sorry, didn't mean to be rude DG, it's just that with no DH/DP, 2DDs, pt work pt uni at the moment I can't imagine ever having the time to do it

no way, no way. try not to iron anything at all unless I really can't avoid it.

a man who irons his sheets... Never met one myself! Maybe I'm mixing in the wrong crowds??!

Eye-ron? Ear-on? Eye-on??

Speak slowly.....

Nah, sorry, still don't understand that you're all talking about!

No worries, ironing is one of the things I don't mind doing - well, not as much as other things, and it has to be said that going to bed between ironed sheets is one of life's simple pleasures.

But I am not a neat freak by any means, or a clean freak either. My bathrooms regularly don't get cleaned for a month and the kitchen never gets done, and there isn't a clear surface in the house!

No, but am a bad example because I don't iron anything.

Never. But I iron virtually nothing.

I do.Nothing better than ironed bedclothes.
Sometimes send them out to be ironed as short of time these days.

The iron here is only used for weddings and interviews.
Sheets - what's the point?

Glad it's not just me then

Yes, I do. Gorgeous quality cotton sheets, freshly washed, dried outside and then ironed are of the real luxuries of life!

I actually think ironing sheets is therapeutic! Better than ironing shirts!

portonovo, they do sound lovely, but still can't muster up the motivation... Now, if someone else were to do it for me, that's a different matter... Mind you, I can't say I've ever noticed whether sheets in hotels were ironed or not.

I take mine to the nice lady at the local launderette who charges only £1 per item and they come back folded, crisp and clean looking.
Also makes it easier to make the beds I find...

Never. Life is far too short.
