Oh how I dislike ironing. We hide it in the spare room adding to the pile in the basket, him occasionally taking out an item to wear, unironed.
When visitors are expected the ironing mountain has to be moved out, hidden elsewhere or done. The mountain was last cleared in June- when we had guests coming!
We just don’t do it. Lived here 7 years and never have. Once we retired we said time was too precious to waste ironing. If we need something for a special occasion it costs very little to get it laundered.
I also dislike it - and I also have an ironing mountain. When I REALLY need to wear something in the pile, I take it as a sign and iron everything in one go. I usually do it in front of the TV, so its slightly less boring
Well, I can't share your pain. I find ironing so calming and soothing. Seeing all the creases straighten out is so satisfying. (Not so much at 30⁰C+). But I really enjoy it.
Other than that, tge long exposure is so cool!
@grammyn Noooo, by no means do I intend to see a doctor about that!!! What if tgey cure this and I find myself cooking... or vacuum-cleaning.
Thank you, ma'm, but NO, thank you! I'll stick to ironing.
A great long exposure. I hate ironing too I only do the essentials and my smart clothes and of course my table cloths just have to be ironed. I do hate to see really creased clothes on people.
Oh how wonderful to read the comments! Gave me such a laugh 🤣
Moni, I can understand your aversion to vacuuming ( but cooking.......?!)
Debbie we don't have the laundering services you have in USA
Carole uninformed? is that a typo??! Sort of thing Katy's dictating service to type 🤣🤣🤣
Wendy agree about the table cloth ( and napkins!)
Monica I too need a rubbish film on ( I've tried radio plays, just don't work) I watched Cinderella Story doing this lot!!
Also, He did most of his shirts and trousers ( pants) BUT we now have two empty laundry baskets to store somewhere whilst guests stay in our spare rooms
You could try my solution to get rid of your mountain Jackie. Washing gets folded and put away or hung in the wardrobe. If needed it gets a quick iron before wearing. I try to buy things that don't need ironing and Graham has always done his own.
Other than that, tge long exposure is so cool!
@monikozi have you seen a doctor about that?! Lol!
It does make a fabulous long exposure photo for you but I hate the suffering you had to go through to get it. I also like the SC
Thank you, ma'm, but NO, thank you! I'll stick to ironing.
Jak I like your SC .
