    The butler refuses to do it anymore.
    So its either do it myself or get married.
    Life is just to damn short for it.
    So I am starting a campaign to get creased clothes in fashion.
    Who is with me.

    Creased clothes are in fashion in my wardrobe. I just wad them into a big ball and yank one out at random in the mornings. My girlfriend does the same.

    I don't get paid enough to go to work in a shirt, let alone an ironed shirt.

    I heard a rumour that you can pay someone to do all your ironing.

    Mad isn't it?

    I haven't ironed anything in years, because I take **** out of the washing machine/dryer as soon as they're done, hey presto no creases, or at least none that would concern me.

    Wear your clothes to bed the night before, the heat from your body will cause the creases to fall out of them....job done!

    Yeah a butler
    But the help these days, he cited health and safety, apparently it gives him a pain in the bollox and to be fair to him, it does.

    Put them on the heater before you wear them (it's cold these mornings anyways), put them on, they iron themselves on you... Problem solved. I haven't ironed in about a year, and I'm a woman :eek:

    Cos you think the Mrs will do it? Are you in for a surprise!

    I haven't ironed since I left home. 20 something, something years ago....

    Take clothes out of washing machine as soon as it finishes.
    Put on hangers.
    Hey presto, no creases!
