Wow three years! Well done and you have so much to be proud of! Everyday I am learning and growing here in NZ. Some days harder, but many more wonderful easy ones. I love the way you have grasped life and done what you intended to. Well done xx

Just discovered you’re blog, and I’m loving it. I’m with you – life is too short for ironing. It gets put last after tidying. I do clean though, and get the washing done – I’m not a complete slob! But if I’m finished with work, cooking etc, and there is time left I’d rather spend some quality time with the husbane and kids than slaving over a hot iron!

Reading your immigration story has filled me with some dread of the stresses to come but also hope as I see what you have achieved with all that hard work. I certainly don’t anticipate an easy transition especially as for the first 9/12 months I’ll be on my own but I decided our family future was too important a goal and the rest of the family support me in this descion.
I haven’t yet recovered from the years when I had to iron 4 shirts every day so my men could go to school /work looking decent. Now I refuse to iron anything of the boys’ on principle. I only iron Peter’s shirts and my clothes for work and to drive any damp out of bedding as our only drier is the line outside and one above the ever warm rayburn. If they’re not happy they know where the iron is kept. Life is too short to worry about ironing.

I never do ironing. Or more precisely, I used an iron for the first time in three years on the day before my wedding! Lucky we still had one in the cupboard, really 🙂
