Default Ironing Shirts

After just doing 4 of them which I do every week. I have come to the conclusion that I would rather be buggered senceless by Mike R then do another one.

trousers ya take to a dry cleaners to be washed for 5 quid for 2 pairs too


the local laundertte usually has a retired chavette that will do a service wash on the rest of ya stuff for ya too


if ya really clever buy a house NEXT DOOR to a chineese and ya will never starve either


i know what its like to be self demesticated , my family taught me to look after myself

i found a better option

The key is to minimise your shirt requirements!! - get a IT job where you can dress like a slob for 5 days a week then all u need is 2 shirts for Fri and Sat nights - or if ur really loaded just go any buy new ones - on hangers of course! (my mate did this when he couldnt be assed washing due to a hangover!! lol)

What's an iron?

I lob my clothes on the bedroom floor. The following morning they are taken away. I think the pixies sort everything out as all my clothes appear again in the wardrobe all clean and crease free.

She aint daft. Best comment to date she made was when in front of some of my mates I said to her "Who wears the trousers in this relationship"

Her comeback was a killer, she said "You do darling......... But I choose them!"

Bitch She's too quick sometimes for her own damn good

Used to get mine ironed by an ironing lady but she is too far out the way now. Pure cotton shirts are the worst especially on Sunday evening when its bad light. You wake up Monday morning and its full of creases you couldnt see.

And why do women have to have shirts with funny seams and tucks! The girlfriends shirts end up more creased after an iron than when they come out of the washing machine!
