Retro //What's an ironing board ? :-)//
Ask your wife, then duck.

[Bobbisox1]

you mean you don't iron Retro?
Mr B is a great ironer , his days in the RAF saw to that

I've been married 44 years and I have had three ovens pack up on me all within a week before Christmas day. Sometimes I think wer'e destined to have tinned Turkey slices and salad for our Christmas feast.
Thank heavens for our local EuroElectrics ( now gone) who supplied and delivered new ovens the next day.

My wife is worse than me. The only things she ever irons are the hems of new dresses and curtains she runs up on her sewing machine. My uniforms always had knife edge creases Bobbi but I never used an ironing board to achieve them. Too wobbly and unable to take the pressure I used. Once used the dining room table and left two white iron marks on the French polish. There was hell to pay so I ironed my trousers on my workbench in the workshop thereafter. :-)
I didnt like ironing my shirts on a ironing board either.

we've had 3 in this house in 15 years and only one in our other house, I had done a lemon drizzle cake which looked lovely till it sank in the middle and was gooey inside after following the recipe to the letter, I tried again, same happened , I think one of the elements must of gone

[Bobbisox1]

and you lived to tell that tale Retro (dining table)

We do not possess an ironing board nor an ironer. My wife threw it out. She buys none iron where possible. I’m used to curly collars.

[Bobbisox1]

haha david, Mr B is a stickler for ironed shirts etc

[Barmaid]

Well first our heating system packed up. Then we had a wasps nest and an infestation of ants.

This week has been expensive.

[david small]

We also had loads of ants. They too wouldn’t do the ironing.

[Bobbisox1]

it's quite costly to get someone to 'smoke' the wasps out BM,

[iluvmargie]

Same here, I don't possess an ironing board, I just don't iron!

When I was in the royal Navy many years ago my sister asked me to iron her jeans for her. I said ok I would do them when I was doing my bell bottoms. She wasn't happy when she got back and I had put the creases horizontally the same as my trousers. Took her ages and a couple of washes to get them out and funnily she didn't ask again.

[Bobbisox1]

shed, I could give you a BA for that but it's not nasty enough (hehe)

[iluvmargie]

Give me a BA Bobbi, I've only got two (hee hee).

[iluvmargie]

^ I'm only joshing!

[Bobbisox1]

I have only got 3 myself though I don't know why ILM, mmmm might wait for a nasty one and yours isn't :0)
