    1. Re: [BAN] Memories of the 40s >> 60s
    2. Hi DawnI bet your Mams training stood you in good stead hard though it was when you had to clean as a Nurse that is why nothing gets done right now because unlike us they were not taught if we did not do something right at home or school it was do it again at playtime or even after school. I do not iron either but I remember those satin blouses that had to be ironed wet and was it crimpaline? dresses that shrunk up when wet and had to be ironed back to the right size. Lots of things had to be starched table cloths etc I remember how I used to starch my daughters sun bonnets and later petticoats when the she was a teanager and wide stand out skirts were all the rage. Ah Happy days!
