I haven't got an ironing board either Percy - I always do mine on the kitchen worktop but I do have a special ironing mat which I put on it.

I dont have any trouble doing my clothes as they are quite small and can just lie flat, or hubbies, but I did have terrible trouble a few years ago when trying to do my d-i-l's ironing.

She is 'somewhat larger' than me and had just given birth to my grand-daughter so they were maternity clothes too - She was not too well at the time and so I took on all their washing and ironing.

I had never noticed but but maternity tops will not lie 'flat' as they have larger fronts than backs to accomodate the bump so it was a real struggle for weeks until she was well enough to do it herself. - I almost went and bought an ironing board at that stage ;-) :-D :-D

Good morning all :-)

Am I too early for a nice cuppa ??

I certainly hope I don't iron like my mother... she would not have an ironing board, used the kitchen table and on top of that was an old army blanket and on top of that an old sheet. And thus the ironing began... she literally bashed the poor clothes into submission and the irons of yesterday were solid not these lightweight steam ones.

OH wondered what was going on the first time he heard it, we were in the garage downstairs and she was in the dining area bashing away... He said to me what is she doing and I said "she is telling the pillow cases with each bash as she folds them, you knife crease or else."

I thought she had come back to haunt me on my roof once... I went outside and looked up to see what all the noise was and there were about six seagulls doing crash landings on the corrugated iron.

............. my friends laughed to Cyns at me lying there... but the horses did not neigh and they were very good they stood still as. They were probably shocked :-0



Pers..

I forgot to mention ...............

The widow of our friend who died early in May was at the conference we were at 10 days ago ................ she is doing very well. A couple of little weepy moments, but only momentarily.

She's having a "Toast" for her husband this coming Saturday ............. he had an incredible wine cellar, so she hopes that a few bottles will be emptied!

We're going over there for the "Toast", will stay overnight in a nearby hotel, then come home on Sunday.




can someone do food for Sunday, please?????????????

Hi all,

Cynthia I iron my tea towels too, not sure why, must be something my mum always did...it is nice to have fresh pressed tidy tea towels :)

Hope everyone is well, still cold here...not raining but foggy.

Am tired today, small daughter kept waking me up to tell me it was okay to sleep in as we had today off (no idea where she got that from!)

Sent her off to childcare with a big Teddy, as they are having a teddy bear picnic today. For some reason she has renamed her bear to Giorgio (must be a nod to her italian cousins she met) :)

Hope everyone has a nice day today

Glad I caught you Dea :-D

Night Night <3

Thank you for your good wishes Linds - you have caught me as I am just about to go orff now !!

I will be absolutely fine tomorrow !! - 'fairly painful' , 'EXTREMELY undignified' but fine !! ;-) :-D :-D

Nite nites all,

Dea Xxx

Ok where are you all hiding :-(

That's what I was taught......... and yes, I iron my drawers....... ;-)

Ironing killed any lurking bacteria

How so? Its been in a drawer since being ironed.........numpty

............maybe you iron those too

I don't iron anything unless I absolutely HAVE to .................



that sometimes means, getting the ironing board out at the very last minute.


I last had the ironing board and iron out about 6 weeks ago.

Hi all

a warm cloudy day, the sun is beginning to beat the clouds back

But the pleasure of throwing a crisply ironed, white cotton sheet across a bed is so worth it.

I have a white 'boil' wash each week and it is all freshly iron - includes underwear ;-)


I was brought up to iron tea towels by my mum who taught me that, in the old days, they were sometimes used as emergency 'bandages' in kitchen accidents. Ironing killed any lurking bacteria. Mine are ironed and neatly piled into a drawer in the kitchen. :-D

Dea

Just in case you go to bed before I get back good luck tomorrow hope all goes to plan <3 <3 <3
