Hi everyone, hope you all had a good christmas and that your ironing orders are flying in!
I just have a question for you, have any of you had curtains in your orders and if you have what did you charge. I have just finished an order with 3 pairs of curtains but I've no idea how much to ask for these. I was thinking about charging the same as a king size duvet cover, what do you think?

I cant find anyone in my area to do the Ironing, me I keep trying but being a typical guy I always burn things .

I have tried all the local phone books etc and well half of them have either packed up or they dont answer the phone etc

So far I have tried 20+ and not one can do it and they are toooo busy or gone out of business.

There must be a better way to deal with the Supply and Demand.

I think this thread is a great idea. Also can anyone teach me to Sew buttons on.

Hey how about a Masterclass for Guys to do Ironing and Sewing or even cleaning. Never know what to clean the fridge out with Bleach, Disinfectant etc. Okay so Im stupid when it comes to cleaning but not for wanting to try. I think we should have an Aggie and whatsername (how clean is your house programme but about ironing etc .

Its little basics like this that lead to a better life as I always seem to buy trousers 10 inches too long and would love to turn them up myself.

OK, what would you pay for each type of item and what sort of service would you expect ? pick up and delivery ?

Fairly new to posting but here goes. I'm looking into setting up an ironing business in the west mids area. Need to go for this full-time if i am going to do it as i need to go all out for something that's going to pay the bills/support me as it will be my only income

Anyone out there tried to go straight in full-time.....can it happen??

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
