Not a chance - my mother does iron hers though - in fact if its a cloth item she will iron it, tea towels, pants, socks, bed linen, face cloths - whatever!

Judging by the replies so far it is a services and age related yes and a younger generation no.
Apart from underpants, socks and towels we have everything ironed.
I can understand this to a point because if you are in full time employment,or both are,time is an issue, where as neither my wife or myself work.

Constructive folding is what happens in this house. Everything is uniformly folded, then sits in a mountain of clean washing, so much weight it flattens itself!

The only thing that I iron, is Pegs shirts, not good to have a squashed suit is there....and its with much reluctance too. He gets the iron out and does a man thing, holding shirt in funny fashion, put in heap on the board, so I have to rip the iron off him and show him what to do

You wouldn't be in that state if it was only the iron you ripped off him

Haha, I'm with Dizzy on this. I iron Dans work shirts, but anything else I do when I need it. As for bed linen, strangely (if you go by Dicky Tickers logic), I used to iron my bed linen all the time, but then again, I used to be a clean freak and have my houses looking like show homes 24/7...even with having two dogs.

Then Dan moved in, we got two more dogs and with age I have developed the mentality of, I am not spending all my time cleaning and tidying and if visitors don't like it, they can go make coffee at theirs...lol. So in conclusion, no...I don't...lol x
