I think the real issue here is the question of why you're ironing anything at all!?

You a DG the next thing you will be telling us is that you iron snowdrops boxers. I agree with scarey55 just step away from the iron help is on its way. You have probably been out in the sun too much.

I hate ironing clothes. I LOVE pressing quilting fabric. Don't know why. I don't get it either!

I've spent most of the day ironing. While Steve was away the house got left to go to ruin as I was a complete basket case, now he's home we are getting things sorted before we both go back to work.
I must be a bit abnormal cos I quite like ironing, find it relaxing, put a DVD in and away I go...
