    WooHoo Kaz - that is one way to keep warm (my new ironing board cover is in the machine - can't wait to put it on the board & start ironing)

    I like to be as carbon neutral as possible so I reckon not ironing is a good way to start.......

    I blame my mum - she's an obsessive ironer so I've gone in the opposite direction and am an obsessive non-ironer. It's not too late to get help Kaz...

    My children didn't know what an iron was until I recently had to iron a shirt for work... Poor things. Going around in un-ironed clothes... poor poor children.

    I'd reccomend you stop that right away! I'm an non-ironer here. I only iron DHs work shirts and outfits for weddings or very special occaisons.

    I remember being in GaceBros when DS1&2 were 5 and 7. We were looking at appliances and DS1 pointed to the irons and asked "What's that mummy?" The look I got from the sales assistant was a classic

    Another one here who's child had to point to a picture of an iron in a story book and ask what is was.

    Even though I am a non ironer, I do dream of having a Laura Star set-up for when I am sewing.

    Well we all (DS1, DH & I) survived without burns, although trying to explain to Pip the importance of not hitting the ironing board was difficult! On the bright side, I did watch Dancing with the Stars that I taped last night And my Jessica Steele aprons are now very crisp, they depressed me being so crumpled!!!!!!

    Kateo -

    Oh, it's OK, I'm not all stepford, it's only my clothing and the doona cover. I couldn't fit my clothes in the wardrobe, they kept falling out ...

    ...I do not iron. Love it Kaz!

    My DH was ironing the other day, I asked him to leave the ironing board up. He looked at me quizzically, and said "you don't iron?", I said " No, I am not going to iron, I just don't want you rattling the ironing board so close to DD's bedroom, she has just gone to sleep" It took me a while to figure out how to put the thing down!

    Aren't they horrid things to put down? And they squeak and don't lean against the wall nicely at all.

    I managed to convert a friend from being an ironer to a non-ironer! Took me a while but it was a proud moment when she told me she put all her washing away without ironing it!

    I'm here if you need me to do the same for you x
