The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Presumably that lot is tic?

Just in case it isn't...

Boxers, knickers, bras, socks - all conform to shape, plus who is really looking? If Mrs SD is wandering around in undies then lack of ironing is probably not on my mind.

Handkerchiefs - seriously, last had one when I was about 10. Foul things. If I had one I wouldn't iron it.

Cotton shirts - I possess none. I have two cotton T's that I bought in error yonks ago and they are gardening only clobber and certainly don't get ironed.

Bedding, come on, ours comes out of the tumbly (sic) dryer looking good to go. Plus it gets in a hell of a state in use...

In short, ironing is a waste of time and belongs to the era of hand washing and mangles.

I never iron. My iron is stuffed into the back of a cupboard and is probably covered in dust.

I still have a mangle, in full working order.

From the book by Jojo Moyes.

Worth a watch - sad & uplifting at the same time.

Give it a go!

I have rhinitis

My shirts get ironed as I can't stand creased shirts, that goes for my polo and T shirts as well.

So. You iron a shirt, wear it for eg one hour, then it has fresh creases. You take it off and iron it again??
Hope that doesn't sound flippant, its just beyond me.

And a dolly tub ??

I decided on an Aldi dash. My veggie daughter is visiting for lunch on Tuesday so I stocked up on stir fry goodies.
Its a miserable day and tbh I have a mood to suit.
I have just stuffed my face with Doritos and Salsa dip (Aldi version).
Lunch will be home made curry.

And a dolly tub ??

.......and a wash board. I can just remember my granny doing a washing in a metal boiler using a washboard, then she took the washing out to a shed where she had a mangle. Have to admit washing machines are one part of modern life that I do like!

Don't be silly. It is freshly ironed before I put it on.
I do not carry an iron and board around with me.

I do not carry an iron and board around with me.

You would if you lived near the beach in Cornwall.

 

[numbnuts]

I've just done the ironing all nicely pressed and put away

So....why bother in the 1st case??
As I said, it is honestly beyond me.

It's either the sink or the bath that's used, depends a lot on the size of what is being washed.

It'd be a "Peggy tub" over this way.

Smart woman, just like my wife.

Ready to be worn for one hour before its all creased again 🙂
