Not sure I'd agree with that one Snoops

Ironing is the most boring job on the planet ..if there are any ways to avoid it these should be actively sought out and implemented straight away

My eldest daughter thinks that way ~ she pays someone to do her ironing for her. Simples! ;)

If there was one job I would consider paying anyone for, it would be to do the ironing.

That is of course when I have some money  cry:

A cousin of the Saddlers ex-wife started up an ironing business with a neighbout a few years ago when she had her children. She now employs over 10 people.

Not that far oop north pet ~ she lives in Milton Keynes ~ virtually a suburb of London these days.

But where there are people who will work for cash you can always find someone to do such chores.

The one we have not found in North Wales is anyone to clean the oven. When we lived in Town we used to have it steam cleaned twice a year. Ditto wheelie bins ~ they were always cleaned once a fortnight but up here people think we are crazy when we ask where the contractors are that do such jobs.

Place them against a wall and secure the corners with sellotape, then simply iron against the wall. Voila.
