Hi Dawn,
wow thanks for all those encouraging words. seems like I may have a good small business on my hands. Some people like to clean their home and outsource the ironing, other peope like it the other way around. I will get in touch when I land!

My shirts are washed, ironed, and put on hangers for $1.00 each from the local cleaners.

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

...it's the four hour drive to get to the cleaners that's the real b@stard!

Just got back from a little shopping trip and saw one of these in Home Sense in NW Calgary for $199.99

I would check that out before bringing it out here.....i wanted to bring my ghd hair straightners, came out here on holiday and they didnt work, with teh voltage only being 120v. So i went to the local electrician to see about a transformer and the only one that worked was the largest one he had, my straightners were blowing his whole shop on every other one....well the one he said i could use was the size of a microwave :eek: So to cut a long story short i made do with some straightners i bought here until GHD did a US line just over a year ago :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

Wait, are you saying hair straighteners from the UK might not work in Canada? Why didn't someone mention this before?

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

Electrical stuff generally doesnt work.....because the voltage here is 120 compared to 240 in the uk you cant get enough power to get the heat you need! Your best bet is to buy straightners and hairdryer/iron/all that jazz out here! CHI work just as good as GHD out here and you can pick up a pair from most salons or from Chatters which is a wholesale type place for around $200

just to point out Bazzz was being sarcastic!

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

Really, i though it really was some chick who was having a crisis :curse::curse:

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

well maybe he his I shouldn't have assumed;)

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

You just neva know!

Re: Do people pay to have clothes ironed?
 

no, it was a bit of an in-joke. Hair straighteners, and questions about whether they'll work here, are for some reason one of the most frequently revisited topics of discussion, with endless hundreds of threads. You would likely have got an equally sarcastic response if you'd asked about winter tyres, block heaters, the availability of Marmite, or the lack of generosity in annual leave entitlements...
