soapdragon Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Our ironing board needed replacing last year. It was a wedding present from BIL 26 years ago. The legs had gone wobbly and it collapsed; OH has lasted longer but only just; he says his legs are wobbly too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have this one. Very sturdy and stable, very light and has a lot of different height settings too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 No idea where ours is - or even if it moved house with us nearly 2 years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have a John Lewis one, I replaced my Brabantia one a few years back because the mesh was rusty, ED had this at uni but threw it away when she left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Mine was a wedding present from John Lewis so it has done well, but is also rusting underneath. I would like one that doesn't walk across the kitchen floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Have just finished a half hour ironing session; boy's and my stuff, t shirts, pillow cases, dress and school trousers, and I have left OH's shirts to do as another 'wodge' when I am feeling brave at the weekend. I do find that, by just doing half an hour here and there, I don't get fed up with it and it keeps the pile down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Why do you all have boards if you don't iron Someone on here changed my life a few years ago when they said why iron duvet covers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickabee Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I don't iron, and don't know many people who do. I have an iron and a board. Everyone in my house knows how to use it if they need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Dunno, I never found one. A male colleague does all his own ironing. My OH is forgiven though as he is a super cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I tried to 'teach' OH many years ago when we were first together. He made a cracking job of ironing in extra creases; I had to point out that the creases had to be obliterated not multiplied. Was def a case of the more the merrier as far as he was concerned! On the other hand.....maybe it was a ruse to get out of doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
