Help me prove her wrong...Ironing Debate

[Bronzdbebe]

I was talking to my BFF last night and when she rang I was ironing ( DS had gone to bed )and I was watching Packed to the Rafters..Normal Tuesday for me. When she asked me what the noise was (steam) I told her I wa ironing and she ROFL...Umm Ok so whats so funny?

She never irons anymore..nothing..nada..zip!! No-one according to her irons anymore...Let alone folds their knickers..Yep I do that too!! So in a bid to win this bet please tell me fellow goddesses........BTW I have a Free shout coffee riding on this!!

"Am I the only one getting her facial from the iron steam?"

I despise ironing and simply try and buy things that don't need ironing haha,

We had to throw out an iron a few months back cus ants had made a nest in it

I prob use our new iron about 2 times a month.. maybe more now cus I have to iron DD clothes

LOL. I don't think no-one irons. You should have just said "no wonder you look like such a scruff bag!" PMSL.

I guess technically I don't iron.. but I always have intentions of ironing (check my massive ironing pile!!), and I still have to iron some things as I need them. I fold undies too I do occassionally catch up with my ironing

[Toomanytoomany]

I iron stuff as I need it, and only stuff where someone is going to look like a slob if I don't. I wouldn't iron linen, for instance!

I would probably do more ironing if I had more time - I love giving the kids a warm, neat pile of clean, freshly ironed clothes. (I don't like so much finding them all shoved under the bed in a rumpled heap, unworn.)

I iron as little as possible - maybe once a month if we are going out etc.

[nic]

I fold all underwear.
DH's work clothes don't get ironed, at his request though. His everyday clothes just get folded (his request again) Only clothes of his that get ironed are good, going out clothes.

DD's clothes I iron, now way could I send her to school in unironed clothes.

My clothes sometime get ironed other times not. They'll either get chucked or drooled on before someone even notices that they're a little crinkly lol.

LOL nup, no ironing here (as you can see from the post LOL).

[Patooties]

I iron pretty much all of our clothes - i try to iron them as they come off the line.
I hate doing it though!

[briggsy's girl]

i haven't ironed in at least 3.5years! but i buy clothes that don't need ironing - i DO own two ironing boards (haven't gotten rid of one since we moved in together), and apparently we have two or three irons here that are in good nick!

i will admit that i have planned on ironing some of Gremlins stuff - will probably have the study set up to make it easy for me to iron one or two things at a time rather than trying to do heaps at once

and if it gets too much - well, i have a friend that irons to earn extra bucks - i'll just drop it with her! lol

[Floweryfields]

Yep I iron - pillow cases too and I fold my knickers. I hate the just dug out of the washing full of creases look. And I have this thing about men in unironed work clothes, makes me think nobody loves them!
I've recently learned a fair amount of people don't make their beds these days either. I personally don't see the point of having a nice bedset if the bed is not made.

OMGosh - i just googled LauraStar, and i think i'm in love....Seriously, the butterflys in your tummy kind of love...

I love ironing... i think i need one. I hate to ask as i know i'm not going to like the answer - but how much are they ????

[Sequoia]

I'm afraid to post in case I am flamed!!

Well I am an ironer. I am a folder. I love neat piles of nicely folded clothes in cupboards. I love it! What is Laura Star?
Is it something I need to know about????

How do you NOT iron linen? I have loads of linen and I cannot imagine wearing it without having it pressed. OMG I am going into OCD melt down at the thought!

[BeautifulMadness]
