But then he'd have to turn the lights on and that's a definite no no in the cinema  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)
Ironing in the minema eh...?  rubschin:

It would be dark tho...

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.

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.

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.
. . . or the Oxfam shop.

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

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 have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
