    I iron alot of our clothes and even though I don't like ironing I love the look of ironed clothes.
    I also hate starting but love it when have finished. Nothing better than an empty or near empty basket

    Here are some rules I use when I iron:
    1. NEVER iron on a hot day unless standing under the cooler
    2. Always have music or the TV on (takes away the boredom)
    3. Hang the shirts etc up as soon as you have done them (nothing worse than finding then on the floor or have been sat on)
    4. Fold the clothes as you take them off the line, amazing how easy to iron clothes tha don't have many wrinkles to start with.
    Have been known to throw something back in the wash when it was so wrinkled it would have taken forever to iron

    Funny you mention this....I've just discovered that I actually like ironing. Before I ironed only the very minimal and only right when i needed it.

    Like Rivlas I like the telly on and I love the way the empty basket feels.

    LOL! I aimed for that last week but i am too stuffed by the time it comes on. I had the ironing board and iron set up for 6 days with a full basket of clothes ready and had to remove them yesterday as Charlie started crawling.

    i had to dust my iron too

    LOVE it - but you missed one......

    5. Never iron without a glass of wine in hand - THAT will definately make it more fun
