    Just a question guys.

    Would you pay to have your Ironing done?

    My brother uses a service where he drops it off and collects it the next day.

    Would there be a market for it here?

    Sorry to burst your entrepreunarial balloon.

    Having said that, if you can do it for cheaper than a euro a shirt, you have my business....

    For a euro a shirt I'd expect you to be in the kitchen cooking me a slap up meal, with wine...

    Gurries are welcome to it!

    My Aunt used to do this. People would drop it off and collect it.

    I don't own an iron and haven't touched one since I moved out of home so no, I wouldn't pay to have it done.

    That being said if you know some people who would you could make some extra money off it I guess!

    Hey Sueme I think that you are suffering from oxygen deprivation from the steam or something. Otherwise I always knew theres something in those curries. :D Do you like hoovering as well? :eek:

    BUT NO!!

    I do my ironing on a Sunday morning, while watching Something For The Weekend (BBC2) and I would feel guilty just sitting watching TV at that time of the day soo.... I iron everything in sight.

    P.S. I don't do socks. Unless there really creased.

    Ironing & eating a curry at the same time could be a potential domestic disaster.

    PS. Creased socks? Is there even such a thing?!?!
