Many years ago when I was suffering from a slipped disc which gave me sciatica and I was lying prostrate on the couch my OH had to do the ironing he made the mistake of saying that he didnt know why I complained about ironing as he found it very therauputic he still does some after all who am I to interfere with his tehrapy ;-)

I hate the way some clothes slide off the ironing board... my mother did far more ironing that I have ever done.. well if you could call what she did ironing.

She didn't like ironing boards so would iron on the kitchen table... it had a blanket on it and then an old sheet and then she would iron with a heavy iron. She would bash the pillow cases into submission.. if they didn't end up with the crisp creases in the right places watch out. She was ironing upstairs and OH and I were downstairs in the garage and he heard all this banging (I took no notice) he went running up the stairs to see what was wrong.

And then there was this bottle of water that had to get shaken on things if they were too crumpled. Really was wash, bang and wear.


P xx who can make pate..

I used to have a cleaning lady who loved ironing.

We used to have take any possible ironing from the clothes line in the basement or she would iron them


......... including OH's underwear!


It got too much the day we came home and found she had ironed the all but worn out underwear he'd been using when gardening!



After that, I would make sure there were 3 or 4 of OH's shirts that could ironed, and left them hanging on a rail near the kitchen!

Dea


it's our choice not to buy a drier ........... haven't had one since we bought the house in 1972 :-D


Some times I do wish that we did have a drier ................. clothes last so much longer when they are not put in a drier, and I get really bored with them :-D :-D :-D


We were "environmentally responsible" before anyone even thought of that phrase :-D.

It is a lot cheaper, as we use much less electricity for either drying or ironing.

I just plain do not do Ironing <3


honestly!



the iron comes out about 3 times a year ............ usually because I have one summer skirt and 1 pair of summer trousers that do need ironing to look crisp.


Mind you, we do not have a drier, all clothes are hung on lines in the basement to dry .................... shirts and blouses on hangers. They dry with very little wrinkling.

I know what you mean about those lights Sylvs!

I stayed in one hotel in Barcelona and I had to look at my maps and notes before the next day 0- had to go in the bathroom as it was the only place that I could see anything!

These energy saving bulbs are a right pain !!

I recently bought a 'job lot' of 100 watt light bulbs - hopefully they wuill 'see me out' ! ;-) :-D :-D

If anyone wants some, I am happy to share !

Dea Xxx

P.S. - I will swap one buld for an orange bubbly aero !!! (p + p included) ! :-D :-D :-D

Oooooh Sylvs..........was it the BBC you sued? Hope you got a good payout! ;-)

SylviaInCanada Report 7 May 2012 19:48

that was a good quiz, Jonesy!


We sued to listen to the radio all the time .................. and I still have it on for much of the day!


We only watch about 90 minutes of TV a day ............... the news programmes between about 6 and 7:30 pm.

1 hour of local news, then look at CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Co), CNN, and BBC World.


we actually watch more TV when staying in motels and hotels ........... the light for reading is usually so bad, that we end up trying to find something to watch!
