Bearing in mind previous threads on changing plugs etc in Oz, if we needed a new iron should we buy one here and bring it or wait until we get to Oz?

I have been told to ask this question by Mrs Buzzy.

Cheers

Buzzy (Mr)

LOL, yeah right Buzzy...the Mrs is asking is she??!

We bought one the other day for $20 and got a free food mixer ! Enough said?

They're cheap as chips over here - got one from Woolworths the other day for about $12 I think - nothing fantastic but it does the job!

Whats the crack there with changing plugs? The wife can still use her UK Iron can't she as long as we get a two pin plug fitted?

Yep! Its only for the long term that you would change the plug really - other option is to bring a UK extension cable with you so that you dont have to have a travel plug attached to everything - just attach it to the ext lead instead.

HTH

Rach

Phew thats a weight off my mind. She has just bought a monster iron that she thinks is great. Even though she hates ironing.

Don't want to give her SOMETHING ELSE to twist about

They are cheap here, but I bought my UK one over and changed the plug. Still haven't used it though....thats in four months! Good eh!?

That's the spirit, Welshie... who the hell would want to iron anything?

Hey up, I like the sound of no ironing for 4 months, I'm now even more desperate to get out there (4 days of no ironing is a miracle in my house).

ipom

when did you get out there? last time i looked you were in Bucks, are you loving it?

Derr - i have just read your blog! lol x

In the uk, I had a dryer where the clothes would come out and I'd fold them and put them away. No ironing.

Here it seems I also have a dryer. It's a big golden orb thing that glows in the sky... I believe it's called the sun, though it's been a long time since I've seen it.

Are you rubbing it in or what!!!!! Hope your getting over the jet lag and enjoying yourselves.x

I would love to not to have to do any ironing! It must be my washing machine (from the UK) but everything is creased up and needs ironing. I know loads of people over here who don't iron, why can't I be one!! Anyone got any tips?

Tracey

It's the same in my house. Although I do notice they are not as bad when you hang them outside.

I also have to iron everything and yes that does include Hubbies pants - he can't bear to have them all creased around the nether regions!
