I still do that...but as I do all my own washing and ironing it's my perogative.

As for everyday questions and on the subject of cloths, I seem to have completely forgotten how to iron creases into trunes.

Fair enough if you do your washing Teddy, I applaud you btw - but it's still a fact women wouldn't think of, imo - we usually unbutton things.

I don't mind ironing shirts, anything in fact - no tram lines - but trousers are, imo, a nightmare - I always say "you do your smart trousers and you can't complain, but it had better be good!". I hate 'posh trousers' - inside out is better as they leave no shine btw.

I'll iron your shirts/trousers Teddy especially as you seem to have taken note - my husband wouldn't even know unless I ironed his clothes in a really slap dash way!

But if you want a 'crease' Teddy, iron the whole garment ie - trousers, then, steam iron the crease the 'right way round/ front' as the last move, in a swift, concise sweep.

You wouldn't offer if you could see the backlog I've built up. I've been putting it off until the weather cooled down but still havn't got round to it.

Mrs. Bleads bought one of those big ironing machines but I can't get to grips with it. It's Ok for bedding etc but so fiddly for anything else it's not worth it ( plus I keep buring myself trying to move the clothes around).

I have a theory about that.

I believe that socks are the larval form of wire coathangers. Here's how it works...
A sock is the immature form of a wire coathanger (like a caterpillar is to a butterfly). When you put socks in the washing machine, where it's dark, and full of warm water, some of them will feel the urge to pupate...so they slide off down the pipes, make their way to the back of your wardrobe, and spin a cocoon. When they're ready, they break out of the cocoon, a fully formed wire coathanger, and hang themselves on the rail...which is why there always seems to be more wire coathangers in your wardrobe than you remember putting in there.
And you know how, when you open your wardrobe, there's always at least two coathangers tangled together? They're mating...and when they're done, their offspring (socks, remember) slip off to the back of the airing cupboard to mature a little...so every now and then, you'll find a "missing" sock tucked in with the duvet covers and towels...and start the process all over again...
