What Simple Thing

[nailit]

cant you do?
For me, its iron. I'm 51 next week and yet...try as I might...I simply cannot iron. My clothes come out with more creases than b4 I started. Some years ago my ex had a go at me over it, (after asking her to iron me a shirt that I needed for an interview) She said that it was the easiest thing in the world. A few weeks later I was decorating and told her that if she wants wallpaper on the chimney breast to put it up herself. It was the simplest thing in the world to do (to me). I showed her how to do it, she couldn't. Sort of evened it out a bit, but to this day I cant Iron and she (as far as I know) cant hang wallpaper.

What about you?

I cant put my dirty clothes in the laundry, they just dont get that far, Carakeel has explained the process more than once but I just appear incapable!!

[andy-hughes]

I can't do anything practical at all, so I sympathise with anyone who can't do the same as me.

My major bugbear is not being able to develop a sense of direction. I can go into a hotel, walk to the toilets, wash my hands, come out of the door, and not know the way back to reception.

Expand that to going anywhere, and you get the idea!

*laundry bin*

I have just spent well over half an hour putting a duvet cover on. I would avoid doing it if I could.

OP, maybe just invest in a shirt/trouser press instead?

[nailit]

Finding the laundry bin,
Finding your way around,
and finding out how to put a duvet cover on??

Glad I'm not on my own in all of this then.

[Old_Geezer]

be bothered.

Wolf, have you thought of just putting on jeans and a T shirt instead? :-)

[nailit]

RAM, I simply press my clothes (usually tshirts and jeans) with my hands straight after coming out of the washing machine and then dry them....
Usually does the trick ;-)

I can both iron and wallpaper ... but I don't iron.

[RAMMENSTEIN]

Another quick way nailit is to hang your trousers and shirt when having a hot shower, the shirt i can confirm works

[RAMMENSTEIN]

In the shower on the curtain rail^

[nailit]

If I had a shower RAMM I would. Alas I only have a bath...

Not that it seems to be any longer required, I can't wire a plug without repeating the mantra of blue, left; brown right.

Unfortunately I don't know left from right, port from starboard or east and west. :-(

Iron and cook, hopeless at both.

[sherrardk]

I can't make gravy or a drinkable cup of tea, I can't park for toffee and I'm useless with techie stuff.

I love decorating but I'm hopeless at wallpapering. Not that I would want to these days.

[Cloverjo]

I can only repeat what others have said so far. I can't find my way around anywhere, make a cup of tea or hang wallpaper, not that I've ever tried the latter, but I know it would end in a mess.

I can't grow plants. My dad and I bought tomato and chilli plants from the same shop at the same. His are now huge and sprouting fruit while mine look withered and sad even though I water them every day and feed them regularly.
