On the loo earlier today I noticed that my knickers have got an ironing care instruction on them. Is there something I should be told?

you should be ironing them?

JuniperDewdrop · 22/09/2004 22:59

You mean you don't iron your drawers

JuniperDewdrop · 22/09/2004 23:00

You'll be telling us you don't do socks and sheets next

I know someone who irons their knickers and their socks!!
Me, what's an iron again?

My drawers are so big I'm not sure they'd fit on the ironing board! [

I used to have to iron a certain tv celeb's undergarments!

I wonder if the queen knows about this knicker-ironing lark? I think she should be told

am also rather concerned by Juniperdewdrop's assertion that sheets - apparently - need ironing too. That kind of implies that you're meant to take them off the bed and wash them every now and then. No-one told me about this.

DG - Who? Who? Who? Tell us the gossip!

JuniperDewdrop · 22/09/2004 23:08

I just throw stuff in the drawers and cupboards and iron as needed (not knicks and stuff though!)

I - or perhaps I should say dd - has a very interesting and informatve book called "The Queen's Knickers" and it doesn't mention ironing once I'll have you know

you only wash them when they get up and walk to the kitchen

only occasion that i have noticed anyone iron their drawers was when they were wishing to prevent a recurrence of thrush. a male single former colleague of mine used to iron his bed sheets. hmmm.

JuniperDewdrop · 22/09/2004 23:20

My mate irons the whole family's knicks as she says it prevents worms?

DelGirl · 22/09/2004 23:22
