If I never iron another shirt again it will be too soon!!

[Flik]

My dh starts a new job next week, so being the dutiful wife (cringe), i've ironed his brand new shirts (bought them specially, had a uniform in previous job) all ready. OMG my arm and hand is killing. Every time managed a nice clean crisp line on sleeve I created about 20 other ironed in creases everywhere else! Then spent forever trying to steam blast those out. If I ever see another Next shirt again I'll be happy. Does anyone else have this problem or shall I just tell him to bloody iron his own!!

Dh irons all his own stuff.

So does mine!

Dh irons his mostly, I do it sometimes but hate doing shirts. Dread the day I've got 3 ds's week supply of school shirts to do!!!

I've talked mine into buying 'non-iron' shirts from Marks and Spencer. I still iron them but you only need to literally show them the iron. very easy.

in a sane world the ofsted reports would start off with an assessment of the ironing load represented by each school's uniform

in theory dh does his own - in practice i do one and my mother does the rest. but dh does wear his shirts twice with a tshirt underneath. recommended.

Buy him one of those annoying sleeve things - like a mini-ironing board that sits on top of the main board especially for sleeves. And obviously make him iron his own!

I have to admit I pay someone to iron (our very nice cleaner), but when she's not around no way would I iron DP's stuff. Doing mine is bad enough.

non iron shirts, that would have been much better. trip to M & S I think. Thanks girls

Dylon easy iron spray is pretty good especially if the shirts were too dry initially. Oh to have a husband who ironed..
