I have never used and iron in my life, and I survived. True story, I can hoover like a mad one tho, my room is fuckin spotless at the min except my computer desk which is littered with pcs, macs, soundcards, audio controllers and mixers/decks. And dust, lots of dust which is a constant battle to get shot of.
On the other hand, I do all the fixing around my flat such as -re pressurizing/opening up and cleaning out our shit house of a boiler, bleeding the radiators of black gunk, stealing light bulbs from communal areas when the on in my room goes out, cutting down a weed which has been growin for some years and resembled a large tree and took a hacksaw and eventually chain saw to remove. Then there is gaffer taping an emergency escape hallway light which is hanging by bare wires back to the ceiling all because our landlord is a lazy inconsiderate tight bastard.
