Neighbours lend an iron after one breaks at 9pm before the Festival of Work.

Tris ironing a shirt with a big smile on his face.

At 9pm the night before I was due to attend the CiPD Festival Of Work our iron broke – the light came on but it wasn’t heating up!

I really wanted to wear my TfK T-shirt  to the event as I hoped it would be a conversation starter.

I sent a WhatsApp message to my neighbours either side and they both replied with offers of a loan of their iron.

They also both contacted me the next day to wish me luck at the conference!
