ooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry lil_me!!!!!!!!!
I dont like it either and some of my ir**ing hasnt been done for ....erm.....lets just say a loooooooooooooooong time and is not helping the effort to make the place look tidy - in a one bedroom flat a mountain of crumppled things is obvious!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

will try not to use strong language in front of you again:rotfl:

ETA i will follow your example regarding the folding from now on - but another problem is I dont have a TD! and yes I know that drying in the TD does save a lot of flattening with a warm piece of metal!!!

lil_me

I don't have piles of crumpled clothes anywhere, I hang them carefully to dry or TD them if necessary then fold carefully or hang, removes the need to iron almost anything. Items that need frequent ironing are placed asap in the charity collection bag, yuk! People comment things like 'but your clothes aren't really crumpled' as if it's something they expect when you give up that gastly habit. People should all stop i****** then creased clothes would become 'normal'

I'm sure I have saved a polar bear or 2 in electricity

Kazwookie......its been going on for 4 years, when I had DH home for 18 months I had to take him to a nursing home once a week so that they could visit him as i felt that they may have been the ones to hold the "key" to him coming out of his waking coma!!! As they wouldnt visit him here it cost me £30 pw to do this....not including diesel!!! So im well used to it, I have put myself out for these people time and time again!! But he gradually became more difficult to manage, and there were times when he was in a constant epliptic fit because there was too much going on around him at home......to much stimulation from the kids and i couldnt tell them to be quiet all the time!!! It was the most hardest decision of my life to choose between the kids and their dad but it is the best thing for all!!!
