Pst: So sorry about tonight. I was all ready to stay home to wait for you, but then last minute realized that I was supposed to pass something to hubbys aunt urgently, and my mum had accidently taken my set of housekeys home with her. Hence, we all ended up running to 2 places, coz not nice to just send hubby to return things to his aunt, who would want to see baby too, and I couldnt possibly expect my mum to come all the way to my place to return my keys to me. By the time I got home, it was already 10pm
Lena_Soon: Thanks! : ) Intl Bz Park is near my place but not sure if its worth it after the cab farewill consider.
Bliss, Woof, An_gal: Thanks! Im so relieved too...at least now I dont have to spend another frantic afternoon searching for replacement gifts for all my aunts, not to mention the money that would go down the drain, and all the trouble trying to get a refund...
Woof: So sorry to hear your daughter has chicken pox. Not sure why I missed the post about this. Hope shes better now.
Ytanhn: Hope things get better with yr hubby soon.
Xman: Oh dear! Guess youre really sandwiched between 2 sets of parentsmust really ren. Maybe your FIL feels that hes done his part already and its time to enjoy lifewhich is not an unreasonable expectation provided he doesnt impose on others, which hes doing.
Woof, Jo: I heard from Angeline of the Pursebrites BP that mail service is slower this month, coz some of the other BP participants received their Pursebrites 1 week after they were mailed outmine too, and she sent my parcel out on Sunday. Guess the Fitti will arrive by next week : ). If not, I can give you the name of the Singpost personnel to track down your package : ))
Jo: Poor you! Taking care of a baby on your own is exhausting to say the leastwhat I find helpful is to take time-out for myself at least once a week. My hubby does that too. It makes a lot of differenceI read in some textbook a long time ago that babies tend to prefer playing with their daddies, but seek out their mummies when they are upset
Cin: Hmmminteresting observation. My babys the opposite. He sleeps a lot more now than he did when he was 2 or 3 months old. So I do find him a lot easier to care for. However, when hes awake, he demands to be entertained, so I either sing to him, or show him nice pictures (leappad / flashcards / DVDs for babies), or let him listen to nursery rythmes. These are all things for older babies, but theyre useful for keeping baby occupied, if nothing else.
Jete: My hubby doesnt approve of me spending more money on the bag, plus Ive decided to buy it next year when it hits the factory outlets. My friend was going to buy it for me, but it wasnt in the factory outlets yetAnyway, Ive already spent a bomb on the Coach Spring collection patchwork bag when it was in the main stores, so cant possibly justify buying another one so soon.
Yeah! If time was on my side, I would have asked Angeline to track the package down. However, her office doesnt allow her to access the internet during office hours, so by the time she saw my e-mail, it would have been tonight. Hence, I decided to just track it down, in the hope of catching it before it was deliveredand luckily for me, that worked.
Same here. My friend invited us to stay with her in her new condo in Bangkok this week, but we decided not to coz we would have to bring too many things with us. She has a 2 year old, but doesnt have a sterilizer coz she used the boiling method. I dare not risk boiling my bottles coz one melted the last time we tried doing it. And the pump & cooler bag already takes up a whole bagso why torture myself over a 3 day trip? I told my friend that she can come to stay with me if she wants to : )
