I reached the bottom of the ironing basket!!! I don't think I have ever, ever, ever in my life done that before. It has taken me two days of ironing around little bear and family, and I am absolutely exhausted. But I reached the bottom of the ironing basket!!!
The journey was not without it's discoveries. I have found all sorts in my journey, from lovely shirts for little bear that I had forgotten to very strange tops that I do not remember buying. In fact, one top had me eying it very carefully. I don't remember taking recreational drugs. I don't remember drinking alcohol while taking prescription (or any) medicines. I don't think I was out drinking early enough for the shops to be still open after I had drunk myself into a state where I could buy a frilly mauve top with lots of buttons. It is a nice frilly mauve top with lots of buttons, but I don't do frilly. I don't really do buttons. I don't even do that much mauve. Never mind, it was a discovery and it may grow on me (or be donated in the very near future).
I have almost run out of coathangers.
Of course I can see all the downsides. I have found a lot more clothes that little bear has grown out of. I have stashed them to one side with a load of tops that I was insane to buy (but unfortunately I remember buying them, and it seemed a good idea at the time). They will all need ironing. and there are a good few hours there. I have looked at a few bits that have got a bit dusty while waiting for the iron and put them back in the washing, so they have merely been postponed. And while I was doing the ironing I was washing and after gloating over my empty ironing basket, I immediately filled it with the normal, everyday washed stuff out of the tumble dryer. There is another load in there now - I suspect I have another hour and a half's ironing generated today. Also, there will be a bit of a problem putting it all away, as I am not sure it will all fit.

wooohooo well done you!! I will never empty my ironing basket as it also stores all the odd socks that my lot have managed to accumulate.But it does feel wonderful for those few brief minutes that you can look in your wash basket and see no ironing scowling back at you.As for the tops I think we've all done that and like you I havent even got Drug use as an excuse.I'm putting it down to hormonal issues and one whiff of the word hormonal and Hubby just shuffles off not wanting to know so it can cover up a multitude of misdemeanours in the shopping dept lol

I shall definitely remember hormonal - I shall be shameless using that!
