I have spent over 18hours in the past 2 days ironing for the entire house (there is only 4 of us!) I have just discovered muscles in my arms I never knew existed! Any one else hate ironing or any tips on how to get it done without it taking half of the week?
ive never actually tried ironing a house??? surprised it didnt actually take you longer lol my tip is, buy clothes that dont need much ironing, tumble dry everything and fold it straight away, that way less to iron. failing all that turn naturists. :twisted: any tips on saving time on chores leaving more time for fun is always a good idea xx lou xxx
Rammy does the ironing in the morning for the kids uniforms and his shirt for the day... other than that we only iron the clothes when they are needed. Have you tried drinking cocktails or learning french at the same time? Might make the time go quicker!
Dont have space for a tumble dryer in our house, had to make avery difficult decission last year Tumble dryer or Dishwasher. If I had of chosen the tumble dryer I would now be typing from the top of the biggest washing up pile in the world
I agree there is four of usa in the house and i spend a large amount of my time doing bloody ironing too, only thing i have found to stop being bored is having my lap top on top of the iron board Unfortunatly i cannot iron my hubbies ironing as it hides the screen of my laptop so he has to do his own.......... but if i had my way i would love allllll of the human race to go to the tiume of adam and eve and let us all wear fig leaves in the summer months..................................
I hate ironing with a passion it drives me insane have spent much of the last week washing & ironing 'suplus to requirement' clothes and bagged em all up for the car boot/ a well known auction site Some of you might know I used to have a serious addiction to clothes shopping, so wont be surprised to hear I have 3 double wardrobes-worth and wait for it...... 24 black bin bags full :shock: all of which have been ironed in the last 7 days :shock: I need a drink :beer:
well we also hate the ironing we have 7 wash loads that need doing just its all adam that does it as leonie is crap at it deal is she cooks all the food i do all the ironing but hate it so much xxx

Get someone else to do it? It's my pet hate too and I've just been doing mine for an hour before I got bored I usually put a film on while I'm doing it. That way I get at least 1 1/2 hours of ironing done at a time without realising. :thumbup:
Well I have learnt a valuable lesson today You lot can twist anything cant believe I didnt think you would rip the p!ss out of me for ironing the entire house!! ops:

Quote by Sarah I iron in the chatrooms on Sunday mornings!!!
Good ! I'll send mine over :thumbup: No you won't!!! :lol: I might put the creases in the wrong places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll pay you in kind though hun
My tip is wear jeans and tee shirts every day, tumble dry and fold. I never Iron piles of ironing, my kids have creases and so does Storm! If I earned enough I would send my ironing out to be done so we could all be crease free, but I'm afraid I don't and I also don't have anymore hours in the day after work, Mumming, wifeing and daily dose of Swinging Heavening to be doing ironing. Love Fire xxxx
I found the answer! put it all away then iorn things b4 u wear em...max 10 mins a day. Sorted! Tumble dry everything u can, and hang it st8 up in the wardrobe.....hardly anything to iron. Life is too short to iron stuff...my mom had 2 piles of washing, ironing and cowits...as in, : cow it! i cant be arsed LOL
