Do you iron your clothes, or fold and throw into the nearest closet space.

Do you even own (and know how to operate) an iron

yes you did....and i heard an evil laugh at the end of NEVER

thread title updated

Yes.

If something needs to be ironed, I iron it before I wear it. I don't do it as it comes out of the laundry. I'd say I iron anywhere from 2-5 mornings a week.

if Dan were here, he could post a little reference to the messy room I was the only orger to post a photo of

i iron on a need to wear basis....

but usually only when going somewhere special

i usually fold and put away

and my work clothes dont need to be ironed if hung out to dry straight away

ZombieKitten said:

didnt he mention that just the other day

hey, you were the only HONEST orger to post

I iron before i wear and we have a lady

PREDOMINANT said:

is that the same as cleaning the house before the paid housekeeper arrives?

I never iron anything. My wife does, but not everything I wear. If I'm going out somewhere beyond our village she'll iron my clothes as and when I need them. Otherwise, around home, in our street or around here like at the market, I put t-shirts on that haven't been ironed and certain shorts that don't really need it.

do you do the thing my husband does....set up the ironing board...."start" to iron a shirt....and look so bloody awkward that I take over...


making note to leave room when hubby brings out the ironing board

prb said:

Yea, she re-irons my shit attempts.

Sometimes the things I want to wear don't make the pile or are washed after she has been.

PREDOMINANT said:

i put a pile of freshly folded clothes in my rugrats room for him to put away, they often end up on his floor...and back in the wash

prb said:

when the master does that, I look like this:


he is so good now, after 15 years of me watching him with a slack jaw, that he might be able to iron my things MAYBE

PREDOMINANT said:

I'm too stingy for a lady. I don't care if they all look rumpled, as long as I look great

prb said:

Thats frustrating, we are so disorganised I am sure that happens to us too, i wouldn't even notice..

ZombieKitten said:

It's basically work shirts, if I had to do it every day I would be late for work. I can iron but I HATE IT!! Sooooo much.

PREDOMINANT said:

I recently caved in and ironed the master's shirt for a photoshoot it made me hate myself!!!!!

prb said:

No, I don't go near the ironing board. Here it'll make Mon look like a bad housewife if I do. I know my place!

ZombieKitten said:

i cant afford a lady. My mum would do my ironing if i let her (she looks after the rugrat a few times a week at my house while i work)...but as my sister pays her to iron all her families clothes, id feel bad.

prb said:

I probably could since I only buy generic brands (how unaustralian of me )

My wife can't iron, when she does I secretly re-do it

PREDOMINANT said:

just tell her, you can do it better, she needs not bother.

Make sure you deliver this info in a compliment sandwich.
