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.
