    ........ TV only gets turned on during the day if I have a big pile of ironing to tackle. Life is good, but far too busy!


    You're not there yet Triumph - life is too short to be doing ironing.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Unfortunately the kids aren't showing a lot of interest in ironing their own school uniforms so ironing will still be required for a few years yet! I actually find it quite therapeutic. Before it left free-to-air TV, the ideal time for me was always during a test match. TV on mute, radio commentary on, big pile of ironing.

    I agree - but then I don't iron. I don't buy anything for me that needs it and i hang clothes to dry with care so that they don't crease. DH does his own stuff and anything of DD's that ever needed it.
    Maybe once a year I will iron something for a posh night out but DH can't bear to watch so he usually takes over :)

    My spreadsheet is primed, ready for all possible scenarios .:)


    Mine too! I get a nice warm fuzzy feeling when I peruse mine. (Which is pretty much every day! I need to get a life!)

    Great stuff, the new chapter of life begins. I look forward, as many will do, to an update. Current thinking is just under 2 years for me.
