Talking to a friend last night who never irons anything, now has had to actually go out and buy an iron and board because her DD is at a new school with a dress that really needs to be ironed.

I laughed as I can't imagine not owing an iron, and iron nearly everything. original.gif

So, fess up, who else is about to join the ironing brigade?

I like cats, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
As of last year, I now iron once a year -- when it's time to iron labels on school garments.

Like a baby. Actually, better than a baby.

We moved house in October. We do have an iron but it next to never gets used.
I got it out for the first time today, and that was to iron a ''1' onto a shirt for DD for her bday Tounge1.gif

Don't crowd Sir Walter, Edmund.
I don't iron everything, but I do iron on a regular basis. School uniforms don't needs to be ironed, there is plenty of polyester in the polo tops. wink.gif

Okay I will fess up.
My mum does my ironing blush.gif .
If she hasn't had time to do it I will put the school uniforms in the dryer for 10 minutes and have the kids put them straight on. I have ironed about 5 times in the last 4 years and that is only when the dryer trick hasn't quite done the job.
