Pointy side to the left, iron to the right.
But pointy side up when putting away.

Pointy side to the left, iron on wide end at right. The point down when folded and away.

Glad all is going well apart from the ironing, mine wouldn't know how the iron works!

Well, the lover has moved in and considering we are two aged people who have lived by themselves for many years, it’s not going too badly[gtin]

Except that he irons the wrong way round! And when he puts the board back in the cupboard that’s the wrong way round too and boy do I struggle to put it up.

Now, right handed people, without telling you what I do ( because maybe I have got it wrong all my life and it would be better his way) on which side do you rest the iron, on which side do you have the pointy bit of the ironing board?

When you put it away is it pointy bit down or pointy bit up?

I’m off to iron some tops now. Having had to do a three point turn in the kitchen to get the board the right way round!!!!
