Don't iron them - they either go straight back on the bed or are folded straight away and that has to do!

I thought about that, but as they've been tumbled rather than going on the line, they're very creased (that might also have something to do with them having been in the ironing basked for a couple of weeks). The problem is, I like the result of ironing them, just not the actual ironing :rolleyes: . Still, at the moment its saving me from having to work out what to pack

I forgot this very important message to all Flyladies (sorry, gents, it is gender specific)

Tampax have announced today that they will be replacing the cord on their tampons with a piece of tinsel.

This will be for the Christmas period only!

Now I would have like that!!!! :rotfl: Typical, when I don't need the things anymore :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: xx

OK, all you ironing freaks... what's the best method for dealing with kingsize duvet covers? It always ends up being a huge battle for me... I can never get the seams straight, and the middle never gets done properly either.

Triker - clearly I learnt how to list from the best

put it on the duvet, on the bed, then iron it!!
works for me!!
