Ironing without a doubt, I just can't be bothered. My clothes don't really need ironing as I make sure they dry flat and my work uniform in none iron. I do iron DD's clothes as I am a snob and don't want her looking scruffy.

I'm 27 wks PG and since my 'bad back' DP has been doing the ironing! It's great!

Also I have learned to not bother ironing the following :

Bedding
Towels/tea towels
DD's vests, PJ's
My nighties,PJ's etc

Life is too short!

Were you ironing the bedding and towels??? ... and respect.

I mostly have black socks but they take any variations of grey (so instead of pairing a blue sock with a blue sock, and a brown with a brown one, I need to concentrate on finding a sock that is 98.757% black as the one I have in my hand... wish I liked sandals more...

Ha ha I only ironed bedding at first when I only had to iron my own bedding, I soon realised what a ridiculous task this is! I think because I was single when I had DD I wanted everything to perfect for fear of being criticised ( hence the ironing DD baby vest etc! ) soon realised this was a total waste of time and it doesn't matter one bit!

Every single one of them.

Honestly. Hate 'em all!
