Housework

[Connemmara]

The weather so miserable and I have been on this site for quite a while - I gotta get some housework done and my God can't face it - hoovering - washing - putting away clothes - iron for tomorrow YUK will wait another wee while - a thing I have been saying all day hahhaha

[Connemmara]

No, No, you will definitely not be standing for hours at all - one or two swipes and that is it done. When my neighbour was sick - I done all the kiddies ironing in about half an hour.

[Connemmara]

that is what I have Mrs Chappie - off the internet - would you be without yours.

Who on earth irons duvet covers and why?

[Connemmara]

cos they are wrinkly

[sandyRoe]

But when you stuff the cover with the duvet don't the wrinkles disappear?

[mrs.chappie]

Hi Conne, just noticed your post. I wouldn't be without mine, I love it.

The only negative I can think of is that you have to use de-ironised water, and that can become expensive. Worth it though. I get through the ironing at record speed.

[mrs.chappie]

^^^Oops, wrong spelling - deionised. (That don't look right either...oh bu88er it, can't be bothered to look it up).

:o)

I say I don't iron, but we've got a press, when I have to iron it only takes a couple of minutes. Couldn't be doing with someone else tidying up my stuff, though.

Mrs chappie i use ordinary tap water have done even with my last Rowenta

[mrs.chappie]

I couldn't use our tap water Conne, the levels of limescale are terrible.

[Connemmara]

oh I see Mrs Chappie we have lovely water in NI - in fact my friend from America when she comes home drinks buckets of water - it is lovely.

[mrs.chappie]

You should see the state of our kettle before I descale it, Conne. It's horrible.

I did bu88er up my last steam generator (Philips) by putting a few drops of essential oil in the water. The makers tell you not to add anything but I very foolishly ignored it. It was an expensive mistake.

[mrs.chappie]

Boxy, before the Philips steam generator, I had a steam press. I liked it but when it packed up, my sis was singing the praises of the steam generator, so I relaced it with the one she recommended.

I quite liked the press though. Can't remember the name of it, but I do remember it had something called a Vap-o-Jet that slotted onto the handle, to spray the clothes with.
