how old is your ironing board ?

~daisy~_2

whilst ironing today i noticed that the plate bit was starting to go a little rusty then remembered that the board was prolly around 15 years old

i reckon its something we keep for a very long time - so how old is yours ?

My mothers ironing board is over 30yrs old!! And worst still, she throws a right strop everytime I say I'll buy her a new one.

mine was a wedding present 37 years ago and as good as new, with three of a family there has been some amount of ironing done on it

Mine's about three years old, but it's going to the tip as soon as I can afford to replace it lol. I was given it as a housewarming gift and it's one of those fancy-schmancy folding ones, and bits have been falling off it since day one. Absolute piece of rubbish, and incredibly wobbly ...

Hubbys was a engagement pressie to hubby and his first wife over 35 years ago
was thinking of buying him a new one for his birthday as its like a ski slope cos he pushes down hard when he irons

Mine is a mere youngster at five years old, has already had a new cover though, they don't make 'em like they used to

Mine's 15 years old and still ike new, but it only gets used 3 or 4 times a year. We only iron when absolutely essential.

Dont know probably about 15 years old, but desperately needs a new cover.

Mine was my ex hubby's. he bought it in the RAF when he was 18 !! 1984.
Its still going strong. I would hate to buy one of the new flimsy things on the market now

I am pretty sure ours is 25 years plus but we don't use it much these days...
