How many women, I wonder, long to pursue some interest more creative than housework? So many tired, bored housewives complain of all the unappreciated work they do for their families, yet few stop to question whether all their work is really essential. Some time ago, I 'found' several extra hours a week in which to read and paint, just by giving up ironing. If clothes are folded into the spin dryer, spun briefly in cold water, shaken out before hanging up and not left in a damp muddle in the clothes basket, I find very few items really need ironing. My family has not even noticed, let alone complained!
