This is sad. I'm excited.

[giveup]

Just managed to dry a whole line of washing outside. Told you I was sad.

[tenrec]

Hey, spring must be on the way!!

[suechu]

So have I, giveup, for the second day running. And thanks, you're reminded me to get it in!

[Robinia]

lol, I'm sad too then, feeling pleased 'cos I've just done the same, washed, line dried and ironed all in the same day

:o)

[giveup]

I don't enjoy the ironing part.

[LoftyLottie]

Ironed on the same day, Robi?!!!!! Which reminds me I really should venture into the spare room one day to see how how the pile of ironing is. I just throw anything needing ironing in there - Sometimes it needs washing again before I get round to it. I HATE ironing with a passion!!! Buying new clothes is much more satisfying.

Get someone in to do it Lottie..................my lady did all mine this morning.

[suechu]

Ironing??? Nooooo, life's too short. Straight off the line and folded or onto a hanger, job done.

I dothough find myself burying my face in a fragrant shirt off the line in the manner of a Stepford wife... oh dear.

[LoftyLottie]

Craft, I used to get mine collected when I worked, but I don't feel justified in spending the money now. I must say though that I only iron things which really, really, need ironing - usually Mr LL's shirts. With everything else I do what suechu does. I must say though that clothes dried outside on the line are lovely - soft and fragrant. I have to trape across muddy grass to reach my line though :o(

[LoftyLottie]

I have never ironed sheets or duvet covers though. Occasionally will do pillow cases if someone comes to stay!!!

[suechu]

I used to do the ironing (at home) for a hairdressing salon when my children were small. I remember the manageress was most put out when I told her I was returning to work - I felt like a tweeny.

[giveup]

I've got a room like that LoftyLottie. I do have a lady for two hours a week and she sometimes does the ironing,it will keep until next week,but even then I dont worry about sheets,duvet covers etc,but must agree about pillowcases. Only if someone is staying.

[Robinia]

There's only me and I wouldn't want anyone else doing my ironing unless I was incapable... crimplene sheds the creases pretty well anyway :o)

[DTCwordfan]

yes I would giveup too.....

[Big Jenny]

I must be even sadder than you lot then, because I actually LIKE ironing. I iron everything - socks, flannels, bras - and I do all my Mum's ironing too. I find it very therapeutic.

BJ

[giveup]

Come round any time.

[granny grump]

I'm with you Jenny - I love a big pile of ironing something decent to watch that I've taped - midsomer or such and a room to myself. Grandadg does his own - always has I don't iron sock flannels or bras though

[B00]

I was actually annoyed that I was at work today, thus missing out on a washing/drying day!
