LOTR was filmed in NZ, all over the country. We are a wholesome bunch on the whole, although the fullas dressed as orks were plenty ugly rather than pretty ugly. I am loving being back... the laid back lifestyle and so much more sunshine and abit of coastal wind, to iron the creases out of my clothes, while they flap on the line. I fold them when I take them off, almost makes ironing obsolete!

Creased butterfly that was very cute

Lol, Lilibet DS1 started ironing when he started high school, DS3 started when he was 8.

There are advantages to having competitive children, lol.

Not only can dh iron, ds1, who is 14, irons all his own stuff and ds2 will start next year when he goes to high school.

Dd started at that age, so why shouldn't they?

all the less for me!!!!

DP does all the ironing whilst watching sport and partaking of a cool beer.

Neither of us iron. Life's too short.

DW and I just make sure we never buy clothes that need ironing. There's a section of my wardrobe for shirts I never wear because I bought them not realising how high maintenence they'd be!

Heaven help us if we ever get grown up jobs where we have to be smart.

Don't tell DH that. He does all the ironing in this house generally.

Mind you, for the first time in probably years I did do the ironing today. Sick leave is doing wierd things to me, Dh is still in shock after I emailed him to tell him, lol!

another military trained ironing dh here. Unfortunately I served as well, so can't use the 'i can't iron your uniform as i don't know where the creases are' excuse on the few occasions i do iron! That said, dh wears flying suit to work most days which don't need ironing at all. Woo hoo!

Lou I submitted that tip to MN in order to enter a competition! (I did think it was my original idea however.. and that nobody else could be that sluttish! )

My bloke can iron. He's best at it when he's got the hump.. whips through a pile in a hour that would have taken me three and does an excellent job. I have worked it so that I piss him off just enough in advance that he does it..and fast.. but not so much that he won't do it at all!

Other than that.. my mum does it

i do have an ironing pile, but i find if i leave it folded long enough i can pull the stuff out at the bottom and it looks fine

I do all the ironing in my house. The DW moans about how long it takes me but i still get it done.

Hate it though and would get an ironing service if we had a bit more cash.

Was so late oh creased butterfly, as a friend and I were watching "The Fellowship of the Ring", filmed round your way, I think??
Doesn't it go on, and on, and on...it takes longer to watch the film than read the book!!Still, lots of very pretty folk to look at, in magnificent scenery. You lucky thing.

I always say that there is a reason that men have greater upper body strength - ironing and hoovering.

On top of that the armed forces trained him to iron and I feel it would be remiss of me to let the training go to waste.

I am concientious like that

hehehehe
