Hi Amelia, I used to love sewing too! Now I have no time
The last time when Spotlight had a 20% storewide sale I was quite tempted to buy the Brother sewing machine but I'm worried it'll become a white elephant! I'm a big fan of aloe vera gel too - use it for mosquito bites, minor burns, cuts, scrapes, the occassional pimple and even nappy rash!
Hi cupcake, I don't know about cooking brown rice - but for cooking vege, I've learnt not to overcook them and to use high heat when stir-frying to retain the crispness and the colour of the vege. Then again, I always cook my vege at the last minute and have not let it stand for more than 1 hour, so I'm not sure if my method will work.
Hi Krisjoy, I use Mustela products (shampoo, body wash, sunblock, moisturizer) on my girls - I find that it's quite nice and mild. They can be found at Robinsons Baby Dept.
Hi Van, I guess you'll need to go easy on her diet for the rest of this week. Stomach flu takes about 3 to 5 days to resolve completely. Does she like drinking glucose water? Perhaps you can let her drink small sips of it throughout the day to give her some energy and keep her hydrated. Oooh, your previous maid is so gross, scraping her feet with your steak knife!
Hi annlee, sorry to hear about your maid troubles. It's really difficult finding good help these days. My dds also threw up on my bed a few times. Already threw away my mattress when we shifted house cos' of all the horrible stains!
Hi lyn, yeah Metro is having sale - I'm planning to go back there again tomorrow with my mum, but we only have an hour to shop cos' it opens at 10am and I gotta pick my dd1 at 11! Ironing is my pet peeve! Ironing was my "duty" when I was a kid - when my dd1 is older, I plan to outsource that task to her, haha! I still haven't finished ironing - my mum will be here tomorrow, so I'm going to leave the rest to her! Oh dear, your cousin's kid is so pitiful...did she report the maid to the police for child abuse?
Hi starz, wah your hb sounds really heroic, carrying you to the dr! The most heroic thing my hb has done for me is to rescue me with a tin of petrol when my car ran out of fuel in the middle of the expressway! I was seriously in distress - so imagine the relief flooding over me when I saw him!
Hi LittleCat, the doctors at the 24-hour clinic at Mt Alvernia are good and the charges are very reasonable - I think consultation is $25 for after-office hours. It's because it's a non-profit organisation, so the charges are not exorbitant. Btw, when you cook your stew, do you deep fry the potatoes first? It's a bit troublesome but I find that it prevents the potatoes from "melting" into the sauce and my kids prefer eating it this way cos' they taste like french fries!
Hi Sophie, the last time when I was preggie, I dare not use make-up at all - I should have thought of using organic ones like you! Don't worry about putting on too much weight - just eat in moderation. Some people believe that when pg women have cravings for certain food, it may mean that they need a particular nutrient present in the food.
Oops, can hear dd2 stirring from her nap - gotta go
especially pants...
