    shirts do have to be ironed, ive tried all the tricks and theres no way around it.
    of course, if you can turn it into a kinky pleasure then it becomes more enjoyable.
    who said that?!

    My sister-in-law hangs up all her matching knickers and bras in her wardrobe with the little hangars that they come with. :eek: Her wardrobe has a special rail for them.

    No multi-packs of Tesco's bloomers for her. :D

    I used to have all matching sets once:p

    Now I have support bras & 3 for £10 knix from M&S:rotfl:

    Don't know about finding kinky pleasure in ironing, but I know shirts have to be ironed.

    I iron bedding and all my clothes. Take after my mum who irons tea towels ans SOCKS! Bedding always looks lovely but have to confess no man has ever walked into my bedroom and said 'OOh your bedding looks smooth!' LOL

  • No ironing done here, I tumble dry everything.

    If anything, usually jeans where the leg has got caught inside, is creased I re-wash it :rolleyes:.

    This is mainly because I can't stand the "fresh air smell" you get from clothes on the washing line.

    I iron as little as possible and until a few years ago ironed nothing at all. I have taken to listening to books on tape staring out the window to stave off the boredom.
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!
  • Everything gets ironed in our house .. Except Underwear and towels.

    Talking of ironing, I have a rather huge pile that I need to start on this morning :rolleyes:

    As I have said earlier, I iron all tops, trousers, skirts etc (curtains when washed). I don't do bedding, underwear etc.
    My washer does not crease clothes, they get hung straight on hangers while waiting to be ironed.
    There are three adults in my house and I iron once a week, it takes me next to no time to do the ironing. My husband wears a shirt every day and I find it takes me about 2 - 2 ½ mins to iron a shirt, so my weekly ironing takes about half an hour.
    I don't find ironing a chore, just turn you favourite music up loud and away you go. :dance:

    I love the smell of line dried clothes, I nuzzle them as I walk upstairs, good job nobody can see me.:rotfl:
