I iron absolutely nothing
Used to live with an ex a few years ago and his grandparents. The grandmother would iron everything in sight, teatowels, flannels, underwear (yes including socks lol - which were balled up afterwards anyway) bedding, nightwear, you name it she ironed it. And had the cheek to tell me I should be ironing the oh's work shirts for him! Very old fashioned woman. 'He's perfectly capable of doing them himself' I said lol.
So yeah now I iron nothing at all and love itnone of our stuff seems to need ironing anyway so it would just be a waste of electric.

I think I've got an iron.
I'm sure I have.
If you asked me where it was...I'd need to get back to you!0 -
I do as little ironing as possible - school uniform and formal clothes as and when needed. Oh needs a suit for work, maybe 3 times a month and he doesn't think I iron his shirts right so that's fine by me as he does it.
I like the winter as one of the benefits of drying in the tumble drier is I don't have to iron the school uniform!
It's only a game

ohh, i have to wear smart clothes for work, but as I am the most useless person when it comes to ironing and I work 6 full days a week, I admit i take my ironing to a shop. Usually works out at £7 a trip every 7-14 days, which if you ask me is a bargain, as it would take me literally hours to do the same amount of ironing. Its my treat to myself. But I only give them work trousers and blouses.Debt free since July 2013! Woo hoo! The bank actually laughed when I said I have come in to cancel my overdraft.0

I iron everything, but towels and underwear, I do iron tea towels as I heard years ago you should do it to kill bacteria. I usually spend a large part of the day on Sunday ironing as I have about 20 shirts alone each week.0

I iron everything apart from towels and underwear (although I do iron dd's vests)
I tend to stand in front of the Eastenders omnibus on a Sunday and just do the whole lot.0 -
