I think her 8 children probably did it for her. Guinea - I find creases fall out best on the body, but I'm willing to try wind as an alternative. When it stops raining. ex-pat - we don't have a drier. lost writer (I empathise with the name) Formerly Blog Fodder not only irons his pants, but also the tee-shirts he wears underneath other things.

He had an almost iron-free existence before we tied the knot, but after that, he decided he wanted to be a natty dresser. ;-) And now he beautifully does our son's school uniforms too.

I wouldn't know as I always forget they're in there and everything looks like a snotty hanky when retrieved. I love the fact that you are even thinking about it - mine wouldn't.

We'd have to do it all at once so that no one would feel left out. After all, smooth clothes are only convention. Hanging stuff up in the wind does almost as well as ironing I find.
