Ironing

[123everton]

I hate using spray starch on my work shirts as it sticks to the ironing board and the jets on the iron it is so annoying when that happens especially when I've nearly finished! Anyway I am just a humble man and don't want to make a fool of myself in this regard, but is there any products I can buy that'll allow me to starch my shirts in the wash, like in't olden days? And where can I get it?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but gotta give you 10 out of 10 for being a fella and ironing his own shirts! lol

[123everton]

Thankyou, I've gotta give you 10 outta 10 for being an Evertonian. P.S. I'm not bad at D.I.Y. fully house trained (I can be a slob, but I don't make a mess where someone's tidied up) and I'm actually a pretty good cook as well. I'm very proud of my whites, but my shirts just are'nt crisp enough!

[efc]

Well what can I say! I'm astounded.
A fully house trained fella that can cook and that supports Everton - wish there was more like you around lol

Sorry I can't help with the shirts even though I love ironing!

You could always stick to the everton shirts, easy washable, don't need ironing and look fantastic - don't think they'd look to good for going to work in though!

i dont understand why it would stick to the ironing board >have you done them damp that does help i do about 12 hours ironing a week for other people a lot of them are shirts , they all tell he what a great iron er i am , the big jet steam iron s are very good on shirts . well done for trying anyway x

Are you spraying too close? It should just be a very fine mist & then leave it for a couple of seconds before ironing.

[123everton]

If only I played for Everton then all my problems would be solved! I may be spraying too close, but when I iron a shirt that is damp it'll stick to the ironing board and as for the iron itself, whenever I iron a shirt I use the steam jets but if if I've used the starch any time recently then I find it comes out as a dark crumb like substance it brushes off easily enough though. Someone must still make an in wash starch, the firm ACDO springs to mind. While we're at it some of my jumpers are handwash only and then it says dry flat, on what? I've had to rig up a rack like thing to go over the bath but if I do more than two there's no room, any suggestions?
Apart from wash them one at a time, i'm a working man.

Well i'm afraid when I wash 'hand wash only' jumpers they get put in the washing machine on a woollen wash and hung (very carefully) to dry. But then again i'm a woman and I know what i'd doing lol (no offense meant)

We (Everton) could do with an extra couple of players though so how about aiming for that - would save loads of washing and ironing lol

Or you could always get someone else to do your washing and ironing!

[123everton]

If Only! Machine washes are no good for chemile (I hope I spelt that right) and I have some woolens that I use to go hiking in the Lakes that I would'nt want to ruin. I always work on the basis that if my nan (God rest her soul) could manage then so can I. I think we need about 5 players this season if we want to do well, I'd start with Nugent, Barton, possibly Gravesen and Kightly and some cover at centre half, I think Nugent and Barton would be the most expensive (�5 mill?) all in those 4 should cost around �15 mill given the prize money for this season that should be easily affordable. But prepare yourself for the start of season chorus of we're gonna win the league (due to global warming it started early, the previous season had'nt even ended) from the red s***e. Every August these ***** crow, and every December they hush down. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum forever!

[sleepy1]

send them in the post to me i will do them lol .

[efc]

I reckon we're gonna have another good season - but it could be just a dream lol. Not too sure about Barton either! Do you go to any of the matches?

As for the woollens the only advice I can give is dump them and buy machine washable lol

Have you got a waitrose or John Lewis closeby?

Success! I'll get some this week. Yes I usually get to three or four games a season the last game I got to was West Ham away, the less said about that game the better!

[efc]

Hey I was at that one as well lol

Live in Essex now so it was an easy one to get too! I do travel northwards once a month and get to as many of the home matches as I can.

[123everton]

Well I'll look out for you at the next home game, seeing as you're now an Essex girl I'll assume you'll be the one in the white stillettos! You'll spot me easily, I'll be the bloke in the crisp white shirt, that's if I've come straight from work.

[efc]

No white stilletos I can assure you and i'm certainly not an Essex girl lol.
Much too northern for that!

[123everton]

Well I'll never be able to find you then, looking for a northern girl at an Everton game, I'd be awash! But of course if you were a Koppite you'd stand out like a sore thumb!
