Mrs 59-60 is away at the Tatton Flower Show today so I have been pottering round the house.
I noticed a pile of ironing to be done and so, to retrieve some brownie points which I lost when I put a big pipe burn in one of my shirts that she particularly liked, I decided to rally round and polish off aforementioned ironing.
Does anyone on here do it regularly? It is almost impossible. If the garments were flat then I reckon I could do it. But shirts, pants etc are all curved , how are you supposed to get the creases out of that?
I spent two hours doing it but the creases are sh1te and there is always a crease somewhere that you can't get rid of.
I blame BBC newscasters. They set the standard for having well ironed togs. If they would read the news in an unironed shirt and jacket then it would become the norm. Does it REALLY matter if your clothes are crunched up?
I reckon the average family must WASTE 4 hours a week doing this useless task and the time could be better spent on stuff like watching telly or arguing about politics.
