I bought an iron about five years ago and have used it twice - to iron recycled rosettes for a dog show!

LOL @ you lot! No, I might hoover round now and again, but all the horrible things....I'd rather pay someone else to do them.
The only housework tasks that I like, are cleaning the bath and bedrooms. I've got a "thing" about seeing the beds with straight, fresh pillow cases, sheets and duvet covers on, and the bathrooms - I only trust my own cleaning to know that they're spotless. : )

Ironing is the devil!!!

Well I only think that because I let my pile of ironing get so big that it ended up a very untidy, unfolded, scrunched up heap on the floor and the clothes were all bone dry with creases.

Just a couple of days ago I decided to work my way through it and no joke it actually took (well not blood) but definitely sweat and tears to get through it. Still got some to do now.

I just hate it cus my clothes never looked perfectly pressed no matter how hard I try and some clothes are so awkward to iron, I end up putting more creases in sometimes.

Anyway, to avoid death by ironing you should definitely choose option F) do it whilst slightly damp no mater how tempting option E) is, seriously been tempted by this one!!!

So do it while damp and do it regularly. If you have a lot of fiddly things to iron try making sure you don't have to do these all in one go.

I only iron cloths for special occasions and things like shirts and suits (which i dont wear very often) everything else is hanged straight so once its tried no need to iron lol GREAT.... I did plenty of ironing when I was a teenager my mum made me do everybodys clothes the pile was higher then me (we were 6 people)

:(

How do people get away with not ironing. What is the trick to having crease free clothes without ironing?

Also how do you keep clothes in shape. Whenever my landlady hangs clothes on the line they look in shape but whenever I do they look out of shape. Even after I've just bought them. I don't get it cus she buys most stuff from Primark too!
