Right, own up, who did it? It’s really starting to grind me down now. One minute it’s empty, then the next it’s full! I clear it all chuffed with myself that it’s finally sorted and done, then before I know it – BOOM! As if by a terrible force beyond my control it appears again!… What am I talking about you may wonder? – The joy of my life of course… IRONING!!!!!
With five of us in the house now, my once lovely wicker laundry basket is showing the strain, and bits are falling off under the weight of dirty clothes. Generally speaking if the washing up baskets full, it’s because so is my ironing pile! As far as I’m concerned what exactly is the point of doing more washing because when it dries where does it go?! Oh yes, on my already overflowing, ready to topple heap of creased clothes of course!
The cycle is endless! I wouldn’t say I’m a lazy person but the never-ending whack of my darling hubby’s shirts is enough to make me wish I was Edward Scissorhands at times just so I could snip away so there were no more to iron!… Sound good to you too? I bet it does!


I will gladly swap, a pike of ironing thet is 3 children, and 2 big ones. I have 3 little ones 2 teenage ones and 2 big ones. I know exactly how you feel its a thankless task, especially when you have stood and ironed and the teen put it on the floordrobe. good luck and keep hanging on in there .
And there was me thinking I was hard done by with the amount I had to do!…. your ironing with that brood must be pouring out your doors lol!! Can’t say the teenage years are very appealing to me either. I remember what I was like that age! ;0)
