I could never pay for someone to do my ironing, because I know it just wouldn’t be up to my standard, same with cleaning.
On saying that, the laundrette does a pretty good job, from what I’ve seen when working as a cleaner for private paying customers, quite a few used to send their bedding and shirts to the laundry, the sheets were beautifully pressed and starched, as were the shirts.
Starch on bedsheets?
People iron their bedsheets?
You’re kidding?
Yawn!
I ‘m either really lazy or actually have a life.
Ahem! I iron my bed linen! In Summer time it is Egyptian Cotton and in Winter time it is Irish Linen - both of which need to be ironed. The only things I starch are table napkins and handkerchiefs.

My mother used to do that - we had a lot of Chinese laundrys around at one time and they did a superb job on bed linen and dads shirts - especially the ones that had detachable collars. Does anyone still have those?
Don't think we have any kind of laundry service any more.

I don’t think we have that door to door service anymore ST, in Newbury I pass a dry cleaners, see shirts on display, beautifully pressed, plus their sheets would outdo mine...
It’s just the way I was brought up, my mother and auntie were always immaculately dressed, that’s just how some of us want to present ourselves, were all different aren’t we?
OK to send you my shirts to iron then, pauline3? Shirts are all I iron and I hate having to even do the ironing, in fact I have to be watching TV to do it – so, so boring!
