So DP says to me this morning....Can you iron some of the clothes you have hidden in black bin liners in the spare room because....

[kidcreoleandthecoconuts]

I have shirts I got for xmas, have worn once and not seen since!

I pointed out to him that there was nothing stopping him from doing some of his own ironing now and again....It is pretty embarrassing though. I just cant seem to keep up with it all and only ever seem to skim the surface iykwim. Its not like I iron EVERYTHING like some people do.

I iron...

Trousers, jeans,skirts, dresses.
T-shirts, shirts, jumpers.

I dont iron....

Bedding, underwear, nightwear etc.

What about everyone else? What do you iron and how do you keep on top of it??

I don't iron

dh irons his own shirts

You iron bed sheets and towels?@Lone

Christ almighty, woman. Find a hobby!

I don't iron anything. DH does his own work shirts.
I just don't see the point though I have to admit its nice when mil does some of our laundry as everything gets ironed an dI feel all posh. Still not worth the effort though

DH irons all his own stuff.

I iron t-shirts, school uniform, trousers, anything on show really.

In the winter when i tumble dry I can get away with not ironing ds's trousers and school jumpers but not in the summer, I find the creases don't drop out if thewy are line dryed.

I don't iron bedlinen.

It only takes me about 1 hour a week TBH, maybe a little more but not much.

My mum irons everything, when my ds's go and stay they come back with lovely neat piles of ironed pants

Ahem, yes, I iron bedsheets and towels. I do also iron DDs knickers. I do have a tumble-dryer but still iron. A lot. Also iron jacets, coats that have not been dry-cleaned and even those that have, but get creased in wear.

As I said, i dont LIKE ironing, but I see it as a necessity - in my house. Dont like cleaning either, but needs must. Or i call the ironing lady when it gets too much, she's really good at cleaning too! Have DS asleep on my shoulder; DP is still asleep and DD is on her lap-top. Sad to face the reality that seems like an ideal time to iron. So I will use the opportunity to do some until DS wakes up. I iron for a total of about 6-8 hours a week.

MrsM, i dont have TIME for hobbies, what with all the ironing!

yes dh does his own work shirts. He wouldn't let me near them, i'd ruin them.

knickers??? Why why why?

I don't iron anything. DH irons his own work shirts, but some are ok without ironing if they have been hung up straight from the washing machine. I just buy things in fabrics that don't need ironing and hang everything straight up when damp.

I iron hama beads

lol!@ironing knickers. What would happen if you wore creased knix? Would you feel dirty?

pmsl

i iron nothing

i don't own an ironing board

i bought an iron in lidl once just in case but it's still in the box unused.

i have never looked at an item of clothing once it's been on the body for longer than a minute and the body heat has eased the creases and thought 'that needs ironing'

and dp wears shirts and pants to work

I iron a shirt for DH about twice a year if we have to go to a wedding or something. Also iron DD's dress for similar occasions. Nothing else ever gets ironed and you honestly can't tell. If things are on the line on a windy day, they don't end up creased anyway. And life is much much too short IMO to iron knickers!

We iron similar things to the op, but if it doesn't look like it needs doing it doesn't get done.

I keep on top of it by making dh do it and letting him watch tv of his choice while he is doing it

i iron for dressmaking, sellling on ebay and perhaps dresses for parties. otherwise not at all, dp wears tshirts to work.

op you iron jeans?

and tshirts?

oh, and i don't tumble dry either

PinkTulips me neither

I iron my tops and T shirts, and DH's work stuff - uniforms. Nothing else unless DD has a special dress or an occasional shirt for DH.

I've tried ironing DH's Tshirts etc but he always looks like he just woke up on a park bench regardless, so I stopped bothering

I don't know where my iron is.

I'd only ever iron shirts, and since dd not yet at school and neither dh or I wear shirts to work, we iron nothing. Jeans, t-shirts, my tops, cardigans etc are all fine hung up carefully to dry then folded/hung and put away.

I iron as little as possible.

I iron my work trousers and DH does his own shirts and that's about it unless smething looks really bad.

Get your DH to do his own ironing, lazy sod!!
