Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 > >Lynda>What is an ironing pile? Just had my Mum to stay over Easter and the last >thing she ironed at the bottom of my basket was the blouse I wore on New >Year's Eve! Is it really horrible to deliberately strip all the beds in the >house the day before the " ironing lady " arrives so that the sheets and duvet >covers will all be magically washed and ironed 2 days later? LOL mum was staying with us when G was in hospital *everything* that sat still has been through the wash!! and been ironed! however our lovely white cutwork duvet cover ripped all along the top as she dragged it out of the washing machine -it will mend but won't ever be the same:-( It was a wedding present and as we only own the 1 superking duvet cover its done pretty well (we have a king size which we squeeze the duvet into when the other is in the wash-or ripped) Angi house now back to pigsty as i'm i/c again!!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 For the first time ever my ironing has been up to date for the last 3 1/2 weeks. Sadly this is because I have been trying to keep myself busy after the awful time we've had recently. Does that mean that stress makes do the ironing!!?? dh is happy anyway....he has a clean shirt to wear every morning! -- Mum to (aged 4, born a whopping 11lbs 6oz) and 2 angels 20/10/98 and 24/3/00 Farnborough, Hants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2000 Report Share Posted April 26, 2000 My ironing only ever gets up to date when I'm due to go into labour. This is my major sign as I iron manically the evening befor I give birth. DH has the awful dilemma that I will only get the current Ironing pile done if he consents to another baby!!! I think ironing destined never to be finished. (sadly!!!!)

Don't think much of your mum's housekeeping, Angi. My mum used to strip the clothes off you if she thought she'd spotted a mark or stain on what you were wearing!! Thank goodness now she is older she has given that little habit up. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
