Does your mam work in your pub EO?

No, no... It's just this random woman.

[angusglover]

Your right, we can't iron but hey, it's women's work anyway!!!!!

I exchange spider disposal duties for the wife doing the washing & ironing.

I'm sure she will soon notice its the same spider again and again, Arthur the Arachnid is getting fed up of it as well.

You either live with your mam, or have a northern lass

1/2 Irish, 1/2 welsh and far too smart for my liking.

It's not fair when yer female knows what your thinking before you do!

(And says No!)

I have to do my own. Mrs Gonzo only buys and wears stuff herself that does not need ironing so she refuses to do any. I do know though that she hates filling cars up with petrol and when she lived with her parents she had a deal with her dad that she would iron his work shirts in return for him filling her car up. We don't have a car at the moment but that tidbit might come in useful sometime in the future.

Its not hard though is it? I only do work shirts and that's no more than 20 minutes effort a week

The bathroom steam trick is handy if you are staying away during the week.

Hang mine up on the floordrobe:

Next day they're back in the wardrobe, washed n ironed!

Amazin Huh!

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

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.

She probaly just feels like she has to earn her keep.

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.

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.

Aah, G&T. Very nice too.

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...
