Am I being ripped off?

After being back at work for nearly two years, part time but doing four school hour days, I finally have arranged for some help with my ironing.
The lady I contacted said it would be £6 an hour and I wondered how it would pan out, so I put 30 items, all small kids things, t-shirts, pj bottoms, some jeans etc nothing I considered which would need a lot of work on.
The girl who came seemed nice enough and she collects and returns it to you. She has just phoned to say it is ready and when I asked her how much she said two hours.
Am I being unreasonable in thinking she is ripping me off, I could do that in just over an hour I am sure?
What do you think?

kkgirl - I think you have to accept that if she won't be more assertive, £10 is the right amount - afterall 'a basket' is a pretty vague term. Has she agreed to do some more? If she has, then she is probably happy with what you offer.

I do agree that this sort of thing can be very embarassing.
