A couple of months ago it was all so simple, lived with the folks and had no worries, now, I own a house, kettle , toaster, fridge and so on, I was looking forward to my sofa arriving then it happened!! I went out at lunch time and bought an iron ffs, I'm 26, single and I own an iron, which I don't know how to use

ianmiller999

but it was a christmas present for your mother right

Scooby96

surely for any bitch he drags back from the local watering hole - "suck this then go iron me a shirt" type thing???

davegtt

what you complaining at, take that bubble wrap off that your parents wrapped u up in as a child, grow up, learn to look after yourself and be grateful your 1 of a lucky bunch of people your age who can afford to have your own gaff

you have alot to be thankful off, just when u get a woman pretend u dont know how to Iron so she does it for u, if she thinks you can do it you'll be doing hers too

Scooby96

no no no - offer to do hers but either:

a) burn a hole in something of hers

b) do it so badly she wont ever ask you again

she might even offer to do yours - if not, then outsource it or find a better woman

Just wait for the rest of it.......hoovering, cleaning the bathroom, preparing your own food, doing the washing up, washing clothes, going to extreme lengths to avoid making any mess that needs clearing up, bleaching the toilet, gardening, sorting out all the bl00dy bills that come with owning a house !!

Worth it though in my opinion - and apparently, the laydees will respect you for it (if you do it to an acceptable standard that is !!), and therefore be more inclined to let you remove their clothing, even without the aid of alcohol.

So I'm told.

Any laydees care to comment ?

lmao, i just bleached my toilet. Get used to it, there's worse things you could be doing.

Wait till you have to buy nets, and then wash them at some point, feel like a right ****.

Thats nothing !

I woke up one morning at 29 and reralised I had a house, wife, dog and three kids.

Pretty strange as I had convinced myself that I would probably never breed.

Markus

Nothing wrong with owning an iron, I've got one two, though some dizzy blonde did drop it and break it, and she burnt my ironing board cover, i dunno, some girls eh!

lpski1

hows your luck eh markus. !! tsk tsk.

irons are a very handy item.

1.hold doors open(when not on)
2.you think you dont excersise, but when you're ironing two weeks washing in one sitting, well there you have it.
3.Paper weight
4.lethal weapon
5.mini sauna - refer to point 2.
6.not tried this but you could steam veg with it, could take a while. lol.
7.you also think about it all day if you have done a rush job and leg it out somewhere and wonder if you left it on.! (and was it facing down)

TonyNesta

Nets are sooooo yesterday ! You wan't blinds, you do.

What's an iron?

johnfelstead

Nets are so 1950's FFS.

When I bought my current house the little 'ole lady who owned it previously had "nets" up on all the windows - first thing I did was bin the lot of them.... they look bloody awful having manky lace things hanging over the window.

p.s. I'm glad someone used the correct term for them.... I was calling them "window doilies"!

Not all of us were around way back then, wasn't everything black n white John?

BOB.T

I've got to grips with it all now, the iron is a tool you use to make clothes smooth, it plugs in, therefore it's a power tool, gurf gurf!

I realise I'm lucky to be in the position I'm in...it's just taking a bit of adjusting! I've been on my own for nearly 3 weeks now so I'm getting used to the cooking and cleaning, it's bloody dull though! Fortunately I have a yard and not a garden so there's no grass or owt to monkey about with! And there's not a net curtain in sight

Puff The Magic Wagon!

You poor poor b'stad - you really do not know what you are missing

Gardens = MORE TOYS We can have strimmers, chain-saws, hedge-clippers, mowers (maybe even a ride on mower ) + a wide variety of other lethal weapons, such as spades, forks, axes, sheers etc

The garden is a refuge from the drudgery of house work. "The grass needs cutting" or "just going to clip that branch off a tree" is all that is needed to be said as an anti-dote to the threat of "washing up" Women (sorry gels) do not really want to get involved in all this (seemingly) hard work

Also with gardens, come things like sheds and garages, more male preserves to store our kit. Untold house-cleaning avoidence time can be spent rooting around in these. Generally also a woman free zone, so peace & quiet too. In fact, any gardening is usually a refuge from women chatting...

You may be just venturing out on your first steps to independance, but rest assured, once there's a woman in tow, you'll be dying to get out & do the gardening

LMAO @ PTMW

used to know some girls who worked in a pub and lived upstairs. They doubled up their Iron to act as a toaster as well!!!

I see your point(s) Puff but have you seen me near anything vaguely sharp?

Mine's a terrace house so there's no room for a garage, harrumph There is a shed in the yard, it's utterly useless though, I might rip it down and create summat else for doing projects in. The only down side to it is that it's very close to the house, not ideal for a hideout, should I ever get a biatch

That said, my bro's new house has a huge garden and a garage and it's only 500yds up the road!

ChrisB

I much prefer that Harpic Gel stuff

I've twice been accused recently of my lounge being far too tidy

ChrisB

Have you got a arm chair in your shed mate?
