ironing.................................do you..........

[psychomum5]

............do it as it comes off the line/airer/from the tumbler

save it up for a week and then do while watching a new DVD

never do it at all as life is too short/you pay someone to do it.

am bored, and about to tackle a mound of ironing with a buffy DVD, so thought I would find out what you lot all did.

ta muchly

apologies.................was that bored and also keen to know I clicked twice

Pay someone.

I never do it (well not quite!) but can't afford to pay anyone either, therefore I just have an ironing room, it's touching the ceiling as I type.....

oh for the ironing fairy.......((or the luxury of being able to pay))

never creases disappear once you wear something

i dont look rumpled

save it up for a week and do while watching tv; I record Smallville because I like the pretty men and it doesn't take any concentration

hate it with a passion. vow to do it as it dries but never get round to it, hence my ironing pile is the size of a small country!! Seriously thinking of paying someone to do it.

Ewww do some on a Sunday (ready for school/work)... do little bit a Monday and then my mum generally takes over...

I don't iron a lot tbh, I'm not obsessive

and actually I don't mind it as a job

you get to watch TV

I say to dh oh look I am ironing, you should get some of the jobs done too

so I stand there watching the pretty men and he is cleaning a floor somewhere

know what I'd rather do thanks

I dont iron

i dont iron. i buy things that wash and dry eaily without leaving creases. i will iron a shirt if the boys have got to go somewhere, party etc. I don't care. People always comment on how smart my children look so I am guessing it doesnt show that I don't iron!!

I tend not to buy things for myself that need ironing. DH either does his own shirts or gets the cleaner to do them.

I don't think I've ironed anything since January when I did some iron-on name tags for ds's clothes.

Once a week, there's only two of us so not that much even though I iron everything I wash, and I do mean everything including underwear, tea towels, dusters and bedding.
The odd thing gets done as it needs like my work shirt, or DD's uniform if it needs it in between the weekly iron.

"underwear, tea towels, dusters and bedding"

what on earth for?

I don't iron, ever, and DH has to for work shirts. I get him to do one or two things on top a day for the rest of us. Girl power!

capp, you are like me.....

my ironing is more an excuse to watch DVD's/pretty men.

I do it twice a week - Sundays and Thursdays. I do it in front of the telly and don't mind it that much really. There are loads of house jobs I hate more. I leave my ironing pile on the back of the sofa and then I get so sick of looking at it I don't end up putting it off.

funnily enough I am at the point in Smallville where I am watching James Marsters again

it's not the same tho

Because I like ironing Cappucino, I find it relaxing.

I do draw the line at just ironing outer clothing, and that only if it does crease (which mine tends to as I pile it up waiting to sort rather than put away as it comes off the line.

nah, like my pretty men watching too much

Must do some, it is taking over the office at the moment and no one has anything to wear next week.

Will do some tonight in front of telly.

capp, I founf that with david boreanaz too.

bones just does not do it for me in the same way angel did

oh yes agree re Bones

also it was shite

Save it up for a week and watch anything i've recorded during the week, whilst i'm ironing!

I need to catch up on Smallville/Prison Break/Alias/Stargate big time!

do as little as needed, school/work uniforms the night before,anything dp wants he does it himself, i hang everything up so it just gets creased as his wardrobe is sooo full anyway.
also i used to have a student job in safeway(morrissons) dry cleaners and hated the ironing then so wont do it now, at least then i got paid!
