    Do my own - on account of my gf not being able to iron them properly, and she just glares at me if I ask her to anyway.

    Easy - can iron a shirt in 5 min.

      Well, if your doodling doesn't work out and you want to start up an ironing-based plan B then I may be your first customer!

        My girly washes and irons things, really don't know why, we've plenty of hired help to do that kind of thing.

        Even had to put up some posts and a clothes line for her to hang things on. Again I don't get it.

        It's one of her hobbies I guess.

            Close... It's gin and tonic; and she does all of my washing and ironing, not just my shirts

                Preferably Tanqueray, but Plymouth, Bombay Sapphire and Beefeater are also excellent choices. Must be Schweppes Tonic (not Slimline); plenty of ice; lime rather than lemon... Couldn't give a **** about the shirts...

                  likewise. won't let the other half do my ironing - she's rubbish at it. an easy option is to damp them down with water and hang them up. that's the shirts not the women. works for me when travelling. did it in italy a lot - for some strange electrical risk thing they won't allow irons in the hotels.

                    Another trick is to hang them from the shower rail and run the shower at full heat for half an hour. The steam gets the creases out nicely. Leave them to dry and they can go straight in the wardrobe.
