WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH! I do not want to iron 80 chair covers, 80 napkins, and 17 tablecloths

[FaithManor]

That is all. Me just feeling sorry for me.

 

Where is my fairygodmother, Mary Poppins, or Nanny McPhee????????????????????????????????

 

Drat that Disney!

Shabby Chic is all the rage now a days. Leave them wrinkly:)

Time to stock the fridge with wine, set out the chocolate, and call in the girlfriends!

That would be lovely if it weren't for the fact that my very prim and proper mother and mother-in-law would have a tizzy and set to ironing and neither should be standing that long at an ironing board!

 

I just need a Molly Weasley wand. I have a piece of dowel. Will that do? There has to be some incantation that will make my iron do the work without me, right???? :biggrinjester:

Shhhhh, I've lost 15 lbs. so don't tell my hips that I just ate a small piece of chocolate fudge! :auto:

Do you have a board that adjusts down far enough for you to sit and watch a movie while ironing?

[Jane in NC]

Well I actually like ironing (weird, I know). I would be glad to help if nearer!

Jane, I hate ironing! I would adopt you just for this one skill!!!!! What beautiful music would you like while you iron, Chopin, Debussey, Bach, Liszt, Schubert????? Live piano music to keep you going!

 

:D

Me too!!!

I hope you are not using a plain old home ironing board. With all those table clothes, I would make an ironing platform from a sheet of 3/4" plywood covered with batting and an old sheet, stapled in place. The plywood can be repurposed later.

What a deal although in my best of all possible worlds I might exchange ironing for bathroom cleaning, my least favorite chore!

[Miss Marple]

LOL! While I would feel overwhelmed at the prospect of that much ironing, I'd park the ironing board in front of the "screen" and watch all those Teaching Company DVDs that have been sitting on my shelves making me feel guilty each time I walk past :)

[unsinkable]

Well, they're not going to iron themselves!

 

Back to work with you!

 

:lol:

Jane, I don't mind cleaning the bathroom one.little.bit. I'm weird like that. I hate the kitchen, but set me loose in a bathroom with my essential oils, and I'll make it so nice! I have no idea what is wrong with me.

At least watch some good movies while doing it! And give yourself a goal of taking a short break after every 20 items.

[Kelly1730]

I didn't iron ours. We had 130 of each. It just wasn't happening and no one noticed. Or if they did, they wisely kept it to themselves:)

[Tammyla]

I would rent or buy a really good steamer.
