Friday Poll: When was the last time....

[ooger]

....you touched an iron for the purposes of de-creasing your clothes?

This poll is brought to you by me, whilst I was considering the hardships of housework last night.

This poll is anonymous so don't be ashamed :D

FYI, this is an iron for those of you unfamiliar:

I can't remember the last time I ironed any of my own clothes.

[Bear]

Last time was for the last wedding I went to. Next time will be the next wedding I go to...

[JimmyGulp]

Last time I remember using an iron was to iron some cash flat to put in a wedding card...

I do the ironing in our house and we share the rest of the housework i usually iron on a sunday morning when falc has gone to work - i hate it with a passion

[carty]

We iron after every wash load - little and often makes it easier

[Viney]

I like ironing to a point. I find it quite calming, but i can only do an hour stint at anyone time. However, there has to be something good on the TV at the time.

[cuffy]

I get my Au-pair to do mine :D

She's ok, but makes a lowsy cup of tea.

[Quedos]

I do it when I have to and that when I've ran out things to wear then it takes about a 3 hours stint to get it all done. I keep trying to do little and often but i always find something better to do - like pull my finger nails out!

You must have alot of creased clothes...

Anyway, Jax does mine. Even though I tell her not to bother, if it can't be shaken out or I'm having a job interview I don't see the point.

[krhall]

Sadly - I have to confess to ironing my clothes this morning before coming to work........

[Alpinestarhero]

I dont iron my clothes.

Either my mum does or maria;s mum does...I tell them not to but they insist

I only had one shirt ironed once when I was at uni

Your mum, your MUM irons your clothes!!! :lol: Does she put name labels in them for you too? :laughat:

You know what, when I was at school, I had name tags in uniform and P.E. kit. She draw the line at socks and underwear though, said that was really sad.

:D

I have pretty much never touched an iron or the washing machine, my girlfriend kerry does it all, as she can do it quickly and much more effectively than me.

I'm not old fashion' women should do that' though, we have our roles, She cant cook, so I cook and wash up every night, then other house cleaning is pretty much split equally lol.

[Ping]

I think I've got an iron somewhere... no ironing board though.

I never use the iron so it's not an issue.

:cool:

the wife says it is relaxing, and who am I to argue with a woman. I know they are always right. The wife told me.

Did she iron creases in your jeans?

[ArtyLady]

Oh really? my 19 year old son irons his own clothes...I on the other hand iron nothing at all :D

[metalmonkey]

I have use an iron far too often, to iron the work clothes then have to ironed well otherwise i get telling for looking messy!

[ooger]

Wow, that certainly proves that I appear to be in the male ironing minority.

I'll lodge a formal complaint I think, before continuing with the ironing tonight :D

I draw the line at ironing pants though.

[dissuade]

One of the reasons I work is to get my clothes laundered for me. Come back nice and pressed. And for the bedclothes, I have a cleaner.

[Blue_SV650S]

And for the bedclothes, I have a cleaner.

And from what I have heard, keeping the stains off them is a full-time job for her!!! :lol:

[Stingo]

Weekly - I do the ironing weekly. As Captain of my ship, I allow myself this worthy privelege :cool:.

I do not iron socks or pants.

I do not put creases in jeans.

Upon completion of my favourite job, I then use the board part to go surfing...honest.:D

[keithd]

i do all my own ironing, and i iron on average once a week.

i like to look smart, no excuses for shabbiness and creased clothes in my humble..

[appollo1]

I am the one that does the Ironing in my house. I find it theraputic!!

Every Sunday night I must spend at least 4 hours doing the ironing for the week. No socks or pants though. My wife then has to sort the kids out while I iron.

It annoys me when I spend all that time getting the clothes nice and crease free and my kids mess them up when looking for a specific top.

I let my wife do the ironing once and had to go over my work shirts as she did a terrible job of the creases on the sleeves.

[dizzyblonde]

I don't do ironing, I do strategically placed folding;)

[mary]

March... had a job interview. And very nice that shirt looked too.

im all man sweetcheeks.....i know you wanna piece of me xx

I take stuff out the washing machine and put it straight onto hangers. I don't tumble dry, waste of energy. If your clothes are still creased put them on sooner, the heat of your body smooths them out.
