Ironing service

After seeing the thread about a lawn mowing service. Has anyone here ever used an Ironing service?

I admit I do hate it, I usually do my own, but with the kids being off school I am struggling to keep up with it. I work 2 days a week, but am find it hard to get jobs done with the kids under my feet.

I was considering using Pressed for time they do cover my area and I have seen their vans about.

What do all you guys think?

    try and get a family member, friend or neighbour first. paying them of course.
    i know a few peeps who do this.
    cheaper than using a pro service which has extra overheads to cover. ie premises/collection vans.

    Try to be more selective about how much you iron. Does it all really need ironing?
    A lot of people iron everything and it really is a waste of time. If you shake out your washing and hang it outside or on a rack, most things can be worn again unironed. Saves time and money if you decide to employ someone.
