    Hi

    Hope I'm in the right place....

    My ironing board is in serious need of some new 'padding' - the cover is fine but the spongy bit underneath has given up the ghost.

    Can someone suggest an OS way of replacing/repairing the spongy bit, please? rolleyes.gif

    Thanks

    Nancy

    Sorry ... no advice about your ironing board.
    But I must share my theory that after wearing a garment for a little while, your body heat makes the creases drop out anyway!
    I haven't ironed for years! :j

    This had me giggling. I once worked for someone who swore that the creases 'fell-out' of most fabrics and ironing wasn't necessary. She paraded some wonderfully crumpled, creased, ragamuffin outfits week by week:D

    I remember we used to have old sheets or blankets underneath the cover on our ironing board......

    Ooh, was that me? :D I do iron now - part of my journey to turning into me mother.

    We've an older thread on just this subject, so I'll add yours to it to keep suggestions together.

    I must admit, I loath housework, but :love: ironing. Great excuse for a DVD ;) I'm working my way through the whole of Shameless and Cold Feet :D
