You should take some round to my sister then ,she has an old english sheepdog called [fred?, must be a family name] and it keeps rolling in the farmyard down the lane,think it might be too much for your cure though rotfl Fred.

Fred - ironing is not only boring and hot, its pointless too. As soon as you put the clothes on they get creased again anyway so WHAT'S THE POINT!!!! And YES I've got a big pile of it here to do!! Grrrrrr...... Maz. XX

'Fraid my wife's an iron-oholic! EVERYTHING gets ironed in our house. If you stand around long enough, you're likely to end up on the board being branded! lol! Be warned! Philip

I just dont have time to iron. I got one (well 3 actually!) of those clothes driers from QVC. It is a stand the arms pop out and you hang the clothes on the hangers onto little holes. It really helps also as the clothes are on the hangers you can then put them right into the wardrobe. It has to be the best thing I have got in ages!

Hi Claire, i have just discovered a brilliant trick for cleaning irons--toothpaste! It works a treat and doesn't leave a nasty smell like some shop-bought iron cleaners do.
