Some people are hardcore ironers. They iron pants, pyjamas and sheets. They enjoy ironing. Then, there are those who don’t iron at all.
I fall between these two categories. I spend about two to three hours a week trying to get it all done only to find the pile has grown again, It is like The Magic Porridge Pot.
We went on holiday in August and when we came back the ironing pile was as big as my youngest child. Obviously sensing my horror Morphy Richards sent me THE biggest ironing board I have ever seen.
For two weeks I used it the wrong way round and wondered what all the fuss was about. The Husband even pointed out that he thought I had it the wrong way around. Being slightly stubborn I told him I knew what I was doing. One night when he was out I swapped it round and found that in fact I had been doing it wrong all along. I have yet to tell him cough.
It turns out though that it serves a purpose. The Morphy Richards Shirtmaster is an awesome beast. Due to it’s shape it makes ironing just that bit quicker and ironing shirts and tops has never been easier. It also has an extra tall person setting on it which is good for my back.
Most importantly it comes with a place to stand your gin. Everyone should drink gin … especially when the pile of ironing is higher than your youngest offspring. Aaaaaargh.
The Comfigrip Iron is a fine compliment to the Shirtmaster. It glides beautifully and it really is comfortable to hold. A really good feature is ‘the bit where you pour the water’ (which is a technical term) … it’s extra wide which stops any spillage in the village.
The lovely people at Morphy Richards have given me an offer for all you excited ironing fans out there;
If you purchase a Shirtmaster ironing board (42515) from the Morphy Richards website for £79.99 (www.morphyrichards.co.uk/Shirtmaster) you’ll get a Comfigrip iron (40854) for free by quoting voucher code HPI1554 at the checkout stage.

I hate ironing. But as for needing a place for your gin, if ironing, I would suggest one of those Camelbak hydration systems. Keeps the gin out of the way, but there’s a little tube (like an adult sippy cup) right there when you need a hit.
I. NEED. HELP.
Do you know … that isn’t a bad idea. No accidental spilling of gin on your newly ironed clothes … unless you dribble. Do you dribble Scope?
Only when playing basketball.
