Hi everybody! I've jut finished the IRONING! You know that old-fashioned chore we all wish we didnt have to do, like the younger generation, except when you look at their clothes you go running back to the ironing board? (Well some of us still do)
It even included that dreaded damask tablecloth that looked so lovely on the Christmas dinner table. And how I got through such a dreary afternoon's work was to keep the forum open on the puta, and each time I finished something like that b...tablecloth, I stopped for a little chat. Thanks for your company!!

I have that all ahead of me mate, could not be bothered at present but the pile doesn't stop growing.
Maybe I could mail my tablecloth and matching napkins to your house.

Dont you even think about it!!
I reckon I'm gonna get a new one next year...made of polyester. Or even better, maybe we'll be in the caravan and not even take a tablecloth with us!!

if it needs ironing we dont need it!! table cloth, hah! straight off the line onto the table to the washer, it's all in how you hang it up,
yep thats right, I'm a mister mum as well! I do the ironing in between my phone calls, I find I can just "shut off" and go into neutral!
if your iron is to be made out of polyester I think you had better use the cool setting or it will melt!

I like the $100 bill idea.
Don't worry Rosey, mine will stay scrunched until next Xmas, just folded neatly and ironed on the eve.

Have a basket full of ironing, but hey, I'll get round to it when I'M GOOD AND READY , OK!!!!!
As for the Christmas table cloth and napkins.............hahahahah..............I used disposable cloth, disposable napkins, disposable plates, disposable guests, oops did I say that. All bar one have gone home so I guess that makes them disposable.

I once ironed a whole basket full of clothes...it was hard work.
It was not until i finished i realized i hadnt plug the iron in. Now i know what your thinking and yes at best im not well pressed, probably not well polished either. Maybe i should have a career change and become a tax collector or a car salesman? naw it would be a sideways move.

I even have an iron in my van. How bad is that?
Well actually I don't mind ironing. If I can set up the basket and the iron with a good movie or good musice I'm in ironing "heaven".
As a single mum on the pension only, I took in ironing to subsidise my income.
It's better than ironing just one item as required every time you go out.
My daughter does it that way, and it drives me nuts. I like all the clothes in the wardrobe ready to wear.
It's all a state of mind and a matter of prioritising...... and it's a job both men and women can do, isn't it boys?

Rosey, I started off with my alfoil hat on.but Duckys grandma thought it came from a Christmas Cracker,did't want the old Quacker to get her feathers in a knot so I gave it to her............got to be careful about here because that is how I bacame locked in the Renta Loo.Cheers.Ibbo.
Disco Duck said

It wasn't me who locked you in the loo Ibbo..............I warned you about the dicky lock!!
Speaking of Dicky..................some people have a real nerve don't they?? Now Rosey has got us ALL doing her bloody housework!! It'll be doing the windows next!!
Granny took quite a shine to you. She is still looking for you. I tried to explain to her that you wouldn't be much good since your accident......

Accident you call it?Who wasit that said"Well before we operate on Chris,we should do a dummy run"Confess you vagabond.I told youher Achilles Tendron was not in the groin area,but you knew best did'nt you mate?.Just because the laser beam was not working you had to use an oxy torch.Just as well I wore my Al Foil protector thingy.Cheers.Ibbo.
Disco Duck said

The oxy torch was the only way I could get you your hands of the thing!!
I wasn't speaking about Operation Granny................I was speaking about my Granny!! The one you tried to take to the loo with you!! How quickly you forget!! How much did you have to drink anyway??
When I heard you talking shorthand to those two priests I knew it must have been a fair amount. Fair Dinkum!!.........Just ONCE I would like to be able to take you somewhere ONCE!! Instead of having to take you back to apologise!!

I told you I was once an apprentice priest,they plied me with Holy wine and wanted me to back to the traing school with them.If you recall your Granny was dressed up as a Nun and I thought she was a bit of an enticer.At the time she told me that she knew somewhere to clense my evil mind of naughty thingys etc.I thought that the Loo was a confessional Booth.All is well,but if god forbid that " it "does not happen,I could end up your grandfather.Wel what are mates for?.Cheers.Ibbo.

Rosey for a Canberran you know how to make work for yourself.... I just hang my irong out and let Mr Stanhopeless's hot air iron it.... I don't go to Kambah Pool anymore though because some uncool dude told me whatever I was wearing needed ironing...
It even included that dreaded damask tablecloth
I have that all ahead of me mate, could not be bothered at present but the pile doesn't stop growing.
