That Extreme Ironing thing that @[email protected] mentioned was cool, typical of a Brit eccentric to invent it!
Got me thinking though - I don't think I've ironed anything since the covid restrictions and lockdowns kicked in? I used to iron everything, I wouldn't leave the house in anything wrinkled and I did this for decades. Now I just don't care unless it's a smart function, it's been liberating.
I actually enjoy ironing, but my wife doesn’t, and our ironing board in Melbourne is covered with her junk so I can’t actually use it. I just avoid wearing stuff that needs ironing most of the time in Melbourne. I iron my clothes in Sydney, though.
Haven't ironed anything in like... 4 years. That was for a wedding.
I try to buy everything to be non iron and when washing and drying try to smooth as much as possible
The last thing I ironed was forty large sheets of calligraphy paper ... 😂
I do not have an ironing board, nor an iron. The last time I wore something that had been ironed, it was my HS uniform, 15 years ago.
