Ironing

Unfortunately, ironing doesn't excite me any where near as much as washing clothes. Up until recently the iron was only seen out of its "holster" when we had a wedding, funeral or christening to go to.

But in the last few months no1 son started school and required a crisp white shirt for his uniform. Not wanting him to stand out for the wrong reason (and, believe me an unironed shirt would be very very wrong!) I have to iron every week now. But there is a silver lining to this tale... After Easter he is allowed to wear summer uniform which is a polo shirt. Having tested the polo shirt for the first half term of the year back in September I can confirm I will not be getting the iron out again for quite some time.
