I hate ironing i have only just been aloud to do hubbies shirts as for years i kept putting tram lines down his sleeves, and as for sewing well that i am not aloud to go anywhere near as my stiches aren't small enough and my buttons keep coming off

LOL - just goes to show how many 'closet' ironers there are out there ;) I 'do' like ironing, especially with a good film to watch on tv. Mine just becomes a chore because I don't have enough time to do it regular :(

My next door neighbour is also a Ironing fanatic so I ship mine next door and she gets £10 a black bin bag for doing something she loves!! Vix

Anne Marie, I enjoy ironing but need the motivation to do it. Doing ironing when I could be online? No competition! Viv

When I'm ironing I usually think of my ex's face being on the board - the clothes come out perfect!! LOL

I used to quite enjoy doing the ironing when I was working in London. I did it on a Sunday evening and listened to Radio 4's Classic Serial at the same time. But now I do as little as possible because a) I don't wear such posh clothes anymore as I don't work in London, but in a primary school where practicality is important. b) In our new house it is a real palaver getting the ironing board out and set up and plugging the iron in where it is not going to be a safety hazard with two active boys running about. c) However, we are planning an extension and I want a larger laundry room where I can have the ironing board permanently set up and then it won't be such a hassle. My boys would never go into a room containing a washing machine except under duress! nell

You are not alone so do I!!!!! Linda x

seeing as you've been so brave, Anne Marie, I'd like to stand with you and admit.........so do I!! Infact, I do all my friends ironing (for a small, nominal fee). I find it so relaxing, and have a wonderful feeling of satisfaction on seeing a large pile of clothes, neatly folded and pressed!! In fact, if they turned up with the straight jacket now, I'd probably give it a quick press first!

Get you're lilley white butt over here, I have a massive pile to do. Lin

I think we should help Ann Marie with her addiction,, Iv arranged a big vans to call at everyones house to collect the ironing and deliver it to your house Anne Marie

oooh Anne Marie you wouldn't pop over & do mine once a week would you !!!!! Brenda (in Cyprus)

Hi Anne Marie, before the men in white coats come, can you send me your address. I can send you plenty over by the bag load. Lol Christine

I can't keep this to myself any longer, I just can't live with myself, it's driving me mad, I know that you will all think that I should be sectioned under the mental health act, but I have to confess, If you never want to speak to me again I will understand, here goes I LOVE IRONING
