Highly important for me... no doubt my suit, clothes will be crinkled and wrinkled with a spoonful of sugar...

Will there be irons in the room?

Or should I invest in a travel-iron...

Pretty sure the answer is no - but then I'm not sure I'd know what one looks like. I like to think my look is dishevelled - with style.

Definitely with style, Debi.

But why the urge to put a three-dimensional, softly rounded, constantly moving body into a set of flat clothes?
We've never felt that urge, but then we are quite wrinkly.

Totally agree Debi and John, I don't own an iron (and haven't for many years). I'm pretty sure I'd be a danger to myself and others if I tried to use one!

But, Flickimp, if you need one, you're probably best taking a travel iron - I doing remember seeing one in the rooms last year.

Surely we're all wind swept and interesting?

Not worried about ironing - (am sure there won't be one there) - but all rooms are ensuite shower rooms and I can't shower with my stitches still in. If they don't take them out tomorrow I'm going to have to wash my hair in the sink!!

:(

Do you need to wash your hair each day, Autumn? Last year, I had stittches in my back but I didn't know I wasn't supposed to shower. So I did - and it was ok. Not that I'm suggesting you do it if you've been told not to, of course.

Well I did wonder Debi because I have showered before with more stitches than now - however I think it's because they used finer thread this time and these dressings aren't changeable - (squeamish look away)they are sewn on!!

Have appt tomorow but doubt they'll come out because only done last Monday. My hair is wild if I don't wash everyday - but I can wear a hat on sat and sun if I can't manage!

They're used to conferences, though: I wouldn't be surprised if there was an iron to borrow... but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't either.

Sorry, not terribly helpful!

I have checked. There are ironing boards available in the college kitchens but irons are not supplied. Bring your own, or hang your clothes up in the shower. :)
