Ironing Shirts

I now iron Nick's shirts.  I am becoming such a domestic diva!  I should join a group of dive (plural of diva according to Beyonce) and do diva-ish things with them.  

I started ironing Nick's shirts because I honestly didn't want to carry them to the dry cleaners.  It's like a 15 minute walk and those shirts are heavy.  What am I his woman slave?!  I think not.  So I did what any sensible walking hating American lazy housewife would do.  I ironed them myself.

This is a revelation to me.  I have ironed 16 shirts this week.  Each shirt costs 1.20 to press at the dry cleaners.  That means I have saved 19.2 pounds in total so far.  This is equal to $31.52.  Nick wears a shirt everyday to work so that comes to about 312 pounds a year or $512.33 a year at the current conversion rate.  Why didn't I think of this before?  With all this money I am saving I could go and buy myself a whole new diva wardrobe.  Beyonce will probably invite me to join her own personal dive because I am such a classy female version of a hustler.

Also if anyone has any other money saving revelations they would like to share with me by all means I'd love to hear them.
