Thursday prays for the ironing fairies

[Star]

I've been procrastinating about doing the ironing all week, if I leave it long enough it automatically gets done right?

 

[Marina Salty]

When it's too hot or am just bored I just fold the clothes nicely and put them under the mattress leaving it's weight pressure do the job for me. Sadly it doesn't work for all types of clothing.

Life's too short for ironing.

I like ironing, it gives me an excuse to watch a couple of films without feeling like I’m being idle.

I knew I'd find a little ironing fairy on here

I'll make you lunch in return, beans on toast ok?

Either you’re doing a colossal amount of ironing or you’re very slow

Same! I saved my last load for when I had my week off and had a lovely time.

 

[jivafox]

I only iron if I need to wear it there and then and then I leave the house with my anxiety on high alert that the iron hasn’t cooled enough and is going to burn the place down.

Happy birthday dearest sister @COB <3

Happy birthday @COB! Enjoy all of Diddy's posts in the birthday forum

I haven’t lifted an iron in at least 5 years. I just feel I have much better things to be doing with my time.

 

[ButterTart]

I’ve got at least a dozen people waiting for me to ‘just give them a quick call when I’ve got a minute’. Why are people so averse to just sending a fucking e-mail? They’ve already sent one to ask me to ring them, so I know they’re capable of it.

 

[jivafox]

Oh Happy Birthday @COB !

 

[ButterTart]

Oh there’s LOADS.

COBBIE! Happy birthday gorge! @COB

I haven’t ironed since March 2020. Can’t wait to start again in August

Happy birthday @COB love xx

Happy birthday @COB.

Re. the raging ironing debate I follow Jiva’s approach of ironing the item just before I go out in it if it needs ironed as I hate it or I’ll strategically produce the ironing board when a certain one of my friends is over for pre-drinks and pretend to start doing it knowing they’ll offer to take over. I throw my shirts into a local shop where they do this kind of thing, I’d much rather pay than spend the time doing it myself.

That approach worked every time for Mr F, it's his go-to housework stance. Sadly it's never worked for me, if I don't do it nobody does.

Happy birthday darling @COB xxx

Every time I iron, I spend a lot of time for it to look pretty much exactly the same. So I rarely do it now

Yes, often with shirts for me they end up worse.

 

[Star]

I don't normally iron I have to say, I'm just getting rid of some of the kids clothes!

 

[jivafox]

I often just get rid of the old creases and iron in new ones.

 

[Lucille]

NEVER IRON.

 

[RJN]

Once I mentioned not ironing very much at work and my coworker said something like "yes, we can tell"

You see, you've gone in too high with your first offer here.

Happy bday COB!

Yes I hate ironing one side and thinking it's perfect only to fly the shirt over and find that the other side is destroyed with wrinkles.

But I've just learned that apparently you're not supposed to button the shirt first? That might explain it.

The best bit about working in my current school is semi casual non-iron essential clothes.

 

[octophone]

If something looks like a tough ironing job, I just won't buy it. Simple as that.

 

[octophone]

Oh, we have a birthday! Many happy returns, @COB-ber.

But it's so frustrating because nothing beats a linen shirt, yet they're the hardest things to iron and the most prone to wrinkles! Life is hard.

That’s why it’s best to only wear pure polyester

 

[Lucille]

I just hang my linen shirts up wet and wear them as is, they’re gonna get wrinkled ANYWAY so I just roll with it.

 

[Lucille]

Or get a linen/cotton blend which will be cheaper and wrinkle less.

 

[Diddy]

I might start wearing chain Mail

If it doesn't get smoothed out by the static electricity, it's no good.

I just get dressed, stick my hand in a wall socket, and I’m good to go!

 

[big ron]

I don't even own an iron

 

[BoysForSeles]

Also those supposed non iron shirts are complete lies too.

Happy birthday Cob
