I don't iron my own clothes - I'm very good at smoothing and folding...
However, I sell vintage clothes for a living - mainly sleepwear, slips, etc. I wash and iron each and every one... which would be fine if they were easy-care cotton! Mostly these vintage gowns are nylon + lace with very full skirts. Often they have two layers which need to be pressed separately. It can take more than an hour to iron just one...
Still, it's only another 3 and a half years till I can retire... ?

Small digression, to give everyone a laugh, guess what currently on the t v - it’s Salvage Hunters - again, only second time today do quite good really.
they usually have a day of back to back episodes. my husband doesnt like him as he says he rips people off.
can i please draw a line under the discussion of domestics and return it to my thread to be able to express things as and when i need to and for others to contribute to that. the debate has been interesting mainly history lesson for me but has now digressed to a different subject. things like sewing machines can be done on the thread crafty which was set up for that type of thing. its been good to have these memories. i hope im not upsetting anyone.
#jennifer 1967 I bought a spork but it is more the size of a cake fork. Are you able to get larger ones?
just a bit weary. i wake up with a to do list and go to bed with an even bigger one. no different to anyone else i think. it was one thing after another he wanted me to do yesterday. he had his tablets at 9pm then i declared im off duty barring fire or other real emergency.
no need for apologies, i asked him if his mum used any of the things that were mentioned. ive only read it in books
funny thing - we had a delivery this morning. loud knock on the door so my husband stood up to get it and i forgotten to put his belt on his shorts. stood up and his shorts were round his ankles so i got it. not very dignified but caused us to giggle.
i wouldnt picture it. i usually thread it through his loops but forgot as he was sat down. my stomach is playing up again but enjoyed the peace today. i dont do much when he goes so after a busy few days, it was nice just to relax and do what i wanted to do with the music up loud.
