....lose weight!
OK I used the dirty word, and worse still I did the dirty deed today...
I ironed not one, not two but FOUR articles of clothing....no wonder beads of sweat were pouring from my brow - indeed they still are and this all occurred at least an hour ago!
It was while carrying out this tortuous procedure that it came to mind that when I last did some serious ironing (I mean FOUR pieces...aaaggghhh!), I was probably a size 10...mmm okay, maybe a 12 for comfort on occasion....and I have expanded somewhat since then...sigh!
Dragging the instrument of torture up and down, and side to expansive side of my size 16 blouse...I felt like the task would never end - surely this cant be right I thought....it doesnt take this long to flatten one blouse...surely?!? But then as I carted my beautiful wrinkle-free garments up the stairs, I blew the cobwebs off the handle of my 'size 10 drawer' and did a little compare and contrast. It all became blatently clear then - for every one blouse that I am pressing now, I could have done two or three in the good old days - in the same time and using the same amount of agonising effort. So in reality then....I didnt just press four garments - as awful as that was....but the equivalent of about 9, maybe even 12!!!!
If that isnt a bloody good reason to hit the SlimFast plan I dont know what is!!!
While 'researching' for this little blog post, I came upon a little cartoon which I couldnt fit into my tale (not quite anyway...lol!) but just had to share with you....
Love it! Ho hum...give it another year.....

Sue I love it, and have a secret to the ironing...a press thingy is much easier or beter still there are people out there who will iron for you, apparently, i've not used them but supervise the collection and return of my bosses ironed clothes.
Love the cartoon...very tarty can see I've been teaching you well hahah
I think the 'other people' method sounds much more preferable than the press thingy Sall - I have one of those under the stairs somewhere - they ARE fabulous....if you have a thing about burned wrists, fingers and forearms! lol!

Well Sue I laughed my socks off, but what you have said makes sense. never looked at ironing that way. As soon as I find where I put the board will do a bit of timing. Loved the cartoon at the end, just brilliant. Annette xx

Hi Sue
No-one tells a cautionary tale quite like yurself missus. I absolutely loved your cartoons, especially the last one!
I'm a "get another person to do it" person when things are too busy and finances allow. It's actually great value considering the time it frees up for crafting LOL!!!
