Note to self - don’t iron outside
16 August 2007
The other week when the sun shone; I’m sure it did, but this tale proves to me that it wasn’t a figment of my imagination despite the almost non stop rain we have had forever now. Anyway, back to the day the sun shone…. I had a mountain of ironing to do and decided that rather than waste the day indoors I would bring it all outside.
Great idea until one false move causes the ironing board to shake and my beloved iron (Russell Hobbs Steam Generator)to fall on to the patio beneath! the iron itself survived, but the water tank sadly did not. I was devastated! However, Curry’s Partsmaster came to my rescue. They had a spare water tank for only £4.75 and they could deliver. I paid for express delivery and my new tank arrived the next working day. I couldn’t ask for better service. Now the sun has never shone again, so I haven’t been tempted to try a rerun. Thankfully the iron still works perfectly with its brand new tank.
