How difficult could it be like...? rubschin:
-
Reached the end of the clean clothes have you?
Buy new ones ~ you know it makes sense.
-
Is LL due back tomorrow like happy001

Get a man in whistle:
-
Is LL due back tomorrow like happy001
Yes... redface:
I've got the board thing out and found the iron... cloud9:
-
Get a woman in ~ preferably one about 70 years old, with a whiskery chin. A wart or two would help when you explain matters to LL.
-
A good start...
now plug it in , fill it with water , set it to the required temperature for the material or fabric you are ironing ( just whopping it up to max will not do noooo: ) assemble the clothing on the board in a way that will allow you to use the iron most effectively and by Jeeves I think you've got it lol: lol: lol:

Water - are you mad? eeek:
-
plug it in
fill it with water
set it to the required temperature
There are a number of assumptions you are making there. . .

Have you also got your array of sprays to make the clothes smell nice whistle:

I only work with modern machinery whistle:

Ironing, a simple mundane task that I do while watching the TV.
Perhaps you could set the board up in your cinema (If there's room of course)
-
I cannot believe that even BM has never watched LL ironing. noooo:
Personally I like to iron my own clothes.
I also sew on buttons and carry out other minor repairs (ex military you see).
Anything I cannot cope with I take to either the dry cleaners or a tailor.

Sprays eeek:

But then he'd have to turn the lights on and that's a definite no no in the cinema whistle:

You have washed these clothes BM?

Ironing in the minema eh...? rubschin:
It would be dark tho...
-
You have washed these clothes BM?
of course! ::)
-
And dried them in the fresh air using all that scorchio sunshine?
You don't need sprays then ~ they are only for people who do/can/will not dry things in the fresh air.
One tip ~ if the clothes are very dry and you don't have a steam iron you can always have a cup of cold water to hand. Dip your fingers in the water and flick droplets over the dried clothing before you iron it.
-
and test the temperature of the iron by applying it to your forehead before you use on the clothes whistle:

Why on earth would anyone who has all that free sunshine use a tumble dryer ~ the most energy inefficient (ie expensive) piece of electrical equipment in any household? You are throwing money away, using a tumble dryer is like setting fire to five pound notes.
FFS we live in North Wales where it rains two days out of three and we still dry our washing without resort to a tumble dryer!
AND remember we are washing for five! That's five sets of clothes a day, five sets of bedding a week etc.

Of course ~ one has to do one's bit to keep the Oxfam Directors in Chocolate biscuits and large Company Cars.

Are you mad Miss D, the thought of BM spraying 'stuff' on clothes really does not bear thinking about, please cast your mind back to the Cypriot curtain spraying incident of 2008. noooo:
-
I am sorting into piles... most of it doesn't need ironing really... noooo:
-
Of course not char048

Of course not char048
It doesn't tho! noooo:

BM is Mr Bri Nylon Shirt. point:
Everything needs ironing except socks!

eeek: eeek: eeek:
Not sure I'd agree with that one Snoops
Ironing is the most boring job on the planet ..if there are any ways to avoid it these should be actively sought out and implemented straight away
-
My eldest daughter thinks that way ~ she pays someone to do her ironing for her. Simples! ;)
-
If there was one job I would consider paying anyone for, it would be to do the ironing.
That is of course when I have some money cry:
-
30 items for a tenner ~ you pay that for a couple of bottles of wine.

30 items for a tenner eeek: eeek: eeek:
It might be worth moving oop north after all rubschin:
-
A cousin of the Saddlers ex-wife started up an ironing business with a neighbout a few years ago when she had her children. She now employs over 10 people.
-
I have just spent the better part of 2 hours ironing. It is a hateful task noooo:

Not that far oop north pet ~ she lives in Milton Keynes ~ virtually a suburb of London these days.
But where there are people who will work for cash you can always find someone to do such chores.
The one we have not found in North Wales is anyone to clean the oven. When we lived in Town we used to have it steam cleaned twice a year. Ditto wheelie bins ~ they were always cleaned once a fortnight but up here people think we are crazy when we ask where the contractors are that do such jobs.
-
Big things (sheets, etc.) are very difficult to iron... noooo:
-
Fold them first you twit! Iron one side then turn them over and iron the other side. Banghead
http://www.expertvillage.com/video-series/1780_iron-sheets.htm
here ~ a set of videos on how to iron bed linen
-
Big things (sheets, etc.) are very difficult to iron... noooo:
Place them against a wall and secure the corners with sellotape, then simply iron against the wall. Voila.

Sellotape...? rubschin:
-
Sellotape will melt if the iron touches it. Icky mess everywhere. Use drawing pins instead. LL will think more of you for not getting molten sellotape on her iron.
Another tip ~ Take the curtains down before trying to iron them. Do not iron them whilst they are hanging at the window

Good point, well made Snoops.
-
Why would you iron sheets - surely the body does that when you lie on them noooo:
-
Sellotape wasn't strong enough anyway... noooo:
Make the bed then iron the bits that show - that worked. happy088
And why would I want to iron the curtains...? rubschin:
-
Why would you iron sheets - surely the body does that when you lie on them noooo:
I iron sheets because of the sensuous pleasure I derive from sliding naked into a bed freshly made with clean and ironed sheets ~ now tell me a better reason for not ironing them.
-
lol: lol: lol:
The same pleasure can be derived from putting clean , fresh sheets on the bed ( unironed) , having a lovely soak in the bath just before bed with all the usual lotions , potions and creams and then slipping between the sheets ( sans nightwear obviously ) - sheer bliss cloud9:
-
...all the usual lotions , potions and creams and then slipping between the sheets
slipping being the operative word.
-
MUCH, of course, depends on the company. whistle:
-
Oh no - you have to wait until your dry otherwise you will mess up the nice new clean sheets cloud9:
-
again MUCH depends on the company whistle:
-
I will attempt to remember. cry:
-
Don't do ironing. noooo:
-
A good start...
now plug it in , fill it with water , set it to the required temperature for the material or fabric you are ironing ( just whopping it up to max will not do noooo: ) assemble the clothing on the board in a way that will allow you to use the iron most effectively and by Jeeves I think you've got it lol: lol: lol:
Given the importance of this bit I think it deserved a bit more emphasis... evil:
-
Just blame me...it can't possibly be your fault noooo:
-

Quite so! eveilgrin:
-
Let me guess ~ Iron too hot and a lack of water in reservoir because you failed to refill it has resulted in you melting something that is now sticking in a blackened mess to the base of the iron.
Your only answer is to replace both items before LL returns. noooo:
-
I shall say I got a ladeee in and she did it... whistle:
-

They come out even more wrinkly if I do that. sad24: sad32:
-

It's still gonna cost you a new iron because once that happens they are a write off. No product will clean it properly.

IMHO LL is irreplaceable. Beside which she probably has his gonads in her handbag anyway.

Yup ~ bin there but I escaped.

Ironing finished... cloud9:

eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek:

Have you done the ironing for the whole village?
You have only been on your own for a week.
-
Or was it just three sheets to the wind whistle:
-
drumroll: I bet the creases aren't straight, they will also be in the wrong place, it will end in tears...
-

Tears or tears?

Both no doubt DS. noooo:
The sound of a man having his gonads torn off is not one I would wish to hear again...

Indeed ~ not all. confused:

Are you telling me that you are not all reptilian. eeek:
I am barely reptilian at all.

Any forked tongues rubschin:

Good grief, so neither of you have to bask on warm rocks before you are capable of doing anything?
-
No Miss C - but I'm sure they would argue that they have to walk over hot coals to please their women lol:
-
Anyhoo... there was a lot of ironing and sheets take a long time... whistle:

Shall we post every time we do the ironing then whistle:

What's all this about ironing sheets ?
Just fold them over neatly, put them on the ironing board & do your ironing on top of them, voila 2 jobs done in one.
