How often do you iron? - 3 x a week

Do you do it all as it comes out of the dryer/off the line or do you iron as you need it? - do at least a wash a day so no it gets sorted into iron/non iron otherwise it would be constant

Where do you store stuff waiting to be ironed? - basket in utility room

What do you not iron? -underwear/towels yes I iron t towels (well it only takes a second)

Do you leave your board out somewhere? nope, on a hook on utility room wall

How often do you iron? every day

Do you do it all as it comes out of the dryer/off the line or do you iron as you need it? do it straight from machine, so it's all damp, then hang shirts etc on hangers and other stuff on washing lin/clothes horse outside to dry

Where do you store stuff waiting to be ironed? I do is as soon as wash finished

What do you not iron? nothing

Do you leave your board out somewhere? no, it's in kitchen cupboard

How many are in your family? four

it is sooooo much easier to do when damp still and LOVE not having an basket full of ironing looking over me!

I iron every day only 2 or 3 miutes, as stuff dries the bits that need ironing, i.e. dh's shirts or work trousers get ironed before being put away. I hate large piles of ironing.

Dh and I take it in turns to do the ironing so one Sunday I do it the next Sunday he does it. The stuff we iron - dh's shirts & ds's school uniform & 5 work tops for me. The ironing is stored in a cupboard or drawer and the ironing board is in the cupboard under the stairs. There are 3 in our house. We do not iron bed sheets, t-towels, underwear, jeans, most of ds's shorts!
