Thread Name: BS: Ironing!
Subject: BS: Ironing!
OK, ok! I'm not the 'new man' I should be. I do a fair bit of cooking and shopping. I do most of the DIY tasks and repairs around the house. I am quite familiar with the washing machine and tumble dryer. I don't do much cleaning but in my defence I reckon Mrs does too much of it! But ironing throws me a wobbler every time. I don't iron socks and underwear. T-shirts and jeans get a cursory run-over. Trousers and jackets usualy go to the cleaners anyway, but shirts!

How the hell do you stop them from getting the ironed in creases that I always seem to manage? Some are OK. Why can't they all be 'easy iron' btw? But some, usualy the cotton and more formal styles, take me an age. And they are still never right! And ladies tops and skirts! How on earth can anything that shape be ironed without breaking the laws of physics?

Just musing...

Cheers
