remember to check your receipts before you leave the place. they charged me $160 for 16 pieces of the 3 for $10. realised only when i was outside so have to go in to get my refund of $116.
anyway its very worth buying for some of the clothes. saw some of the 3 for $10 selling at $20 to $30 each at vivo just last week. lucky never buy then.
blankets are selling at $4 each too. bought 3.
total damage $171

I didn't see any shorts either, only those tee shirt mat'l ones..
Couldn't join the mummies for the ice cream! So sad, I was gian'ing for it a few nights back!
Flos: thanks for telling us the side door to pay & the man there anyhow count my items even my Oshkosh & some carters dress he also charge me 3 for $10

<font color="0077aa">l'l CY^^l'l CH (lilboymum): My MIL keep telling me to cut off the rompers to make it look like t-shirt when smallberry outgrow it.. also make sense lah but I think I will use some as sleep wear too!</font>
Storeberry... thanks for the ride this morning... and its great meeting the mommies... =) the lunch and ice-cream was great!! =p
Also thanks to the early mommies who help us chope so many of the clothes... haha next time sales must get Jaymickey to go with me.. haha one round with her... i ended up with so many rompers that i got no hands to take hahaha.. solid sales queen... =)

chewyring: one lady told me about the side Q
lilboymom: I'm not worried at all...Isaac won't be able to fit into those 24mos rompers by the time he turns 2 cos believe it or not, he @ 3 mos is now already wearing 18mos rompers (European brands), and 12mos rompers (US brands). That's why I bought all 18mos to prep him for CNY.
The sleepsuits? r u refering to the blue-green Carters sleepsuit? The pants reminds me of my Rainforest playgym. My hubs had reminded me to grab it, but I dun fancy the design.
storeberry: I thought the guy by the side door miscalculated my loots too. Firstly, I had no receipt like green baby. Secondly, there were some longsleeves, but she just counted $4 nett across the board. Quite odd...
u got girls' dresses for Zane?!!
I didn't even give a second glance at the girls' stuffs, cos I didn't want my hubs to wait too long at the coffeeshop opposite.
sunrays: I didn't hv the invite card. Anyway, I just needed to know one thing: do they hv the brands I am looking for? I asked the SA to tell me all the brands they carry. She told me: Becca/Benefit/Bare Essentials/Sephora housebrand/established brands like Estee lauder, Lancome, Clarins which u could otherwise get from Sasa or Chinatown.
If no, then sayonara cos I've already tested the Sephora housebrand prodts when I was in SH (it opened several outlets in SH in 2007, SG is really outdated liao). For Becca, u can always get them cheap from the airport.

hi mummies,
how long u have to q to pay up for the clothes sale? i'm going there in the afternoon tmr while my HB brings my FB to class. not sure if i can get all the "shopping" & payment done in time for him to pick me up again.
been to crocs sale, queue was damn bad. FP toy sale was not so bad since i was there on friday & paid using cash. aussino sale also damn bad, got to q just to get in.

sorry but no pix of me, cos my HB didnt help me take! he's totally laid back on taking pixs. i'm the one who's been taking for my kids.

storeberry - u missed me caused i had to leave by 10.15am. Little one had his first dose of 5 in 1 so had to go off. I had to trouble Kym with my loot payment as the queue was too long. Total damage $109.Shop until i forgot the time. So by the time i reached PD's clinic, we were late by 20 mins
Flos - heard from the mommies, some have receipts, some don't cause they had some confusion, so those that paid earlier "ru gi" as they started to charge 3 for $10 regardless of design when the confusion began. Earlier in the day they charged per piece, when u don't meet some the different combinations. I think they do mess up as the labelling also messy. Caused i realised i have some 3 for $10(some are $3/pc some are $4/pc) and some 5 for $10 but $3/pc. then some osh kosh were 2 for $15.Don't know how they calculate also.
here's what my loot looks like.

wow, looks like the sep mummies had so much fun digging at the sale, eating ice cream and catching up with each other! Wished I could join but I can't get away from work cos got meetings to attend. But Thank God for Angels to help me grab some for GuniBoy! *muarks*
twendy: so cute to have family tees!
hee, your picture reminds me of this TV commercial, where the couple wore matching tees, that completes the word, LOVE.

Mei / CY, I was also at the sale around 3+. Left at abt 4+ cos Kydric was crying for milk.. There was no queue for payment which was quite good.
And yes, the girls stuff are so cute.. couldnt resist, and just bought some for friends!!! Oh, and thanks to the mummies at the swensen for the sale tip! Sorry, I couldnt stay longer to chat as I was late for the infant care center appointment.
The infant care center.. funny thing is they dont have a steriliser!!! They asked parents to bring at least 3 bottles, and they only rinse with water (no detergent). So I commented that breast milk is actually a little bit oily.. and they do have 1 baby in the center who is drinking bm. hmm... But the good thing about this center is they close at 8pm, rather than most centers which close at 7pm... hmm.. tough decision..

Rachel, I believe most infant care don't have steriliser. Went a few, and they ask to bring at least 4 milk bottles to them. so if ur bb is staying there for 8 hrs n total feeding at there is 4, then the best u bring 4 to them so they will use a new bottles for each feeding, instead of just rinse n used again.
twendy,
ur family tees r so cute! Whaddya get them?
angeline
Actually i wanted to go see if there were clothes for my older one, but then u were saying mostly for younger kids yah? I'm prob too lazy to go today liao. Besides, all u mummies aren't there. No shiok leh...

Hi, sunny sunny..
For the California Babies calendula cream, can it be applied on face? where can i get this?
Hi, Rachel
Yup, tot there should be a steriliser in infant care centre.. Agreed with Jasmine to bring more bottles so that it wun be recycle throughout the day..the 4th center you visited closes at 8pm? good good, dun need to rush to pick your baby up.. How old will your baby be should u decided to put in infant center?

LC (faintz): CB calendula cream can be applied to everywhere! it's my miracle tub of cream too! can get from watsons at $29.90 but it's very exp! Try getting from the BP thread, think about $17/18.
Can PM the organiser to check if she got extras to sell.

Hi Jasmine, wow, $200 is very very cheap! The cheapest I've found (out of the 4 that I've visited), is at least $400 after govt subsidy, and the most ex one is $1,005 after govt subsidy!
LC, I'll be returning to work in early Feb, so will put my child to IFC on 2nd Feb. By then, he'll be 4.5 months, will have 2 shots of 6-in-1 already, plus 2 shots of rotarax already. So hopefully, he's stronger by then.

I got my CB stick from the BP, lady call Ima. Definitely cheaper than retail store outside. She may have extra stock, check with her.
Millie
The calendula cream is sweet. Yah, my 2 yr old girl was licking it up at one stage and I tasted it. Sweet! Guess it's ok, since it's made of flower and organic and the amount he's licking is very little.

Millie: Erm, I dun think it's edible lah! What I do is I apply it on my boy's face at night and when he's taking naps, cos I swaddle him and he can't rub his face and eat his hands after that.
LC: the link I gave you is Ima's BP.
can check with her cos she usually order extras, or you can join her next BP, she holds one every mth.
Kym: your loot looks great! as usual, girls stuff always look more interesting than boys!

Chewy_ring,
Nice to c u there ...i din manage to grab jackets tat day...2dae a friend went down again so she helped me grab 2 zipper jackets and 1 hooded jacket.

Went to Guess shop at Forum the other day and already bot quite a no. of T-shirts and 2-3 jeans cos there was a sale there. Very satisfied.
Missed out the ice cream gathering, so now eating Macademia nut Haagen Daz ice-cream now...so sinful

Hi, Rachel
4.5mth by then should be ok, better than 2 to 3mth old..How much are you paying for the centre u going for? I am also giving my boy all the optional jab as well..better to be KS but dun know how much it can help to fend off the germs in the centre.. Very sad
.. I am labelled as cruel, heartless mummy by my MIL for putting my boy in the centre next year..She said my boy is still so young and I am dumping him into the cold centre, wat if the caretaker dun take good care etc etc..I guess all her relatives will see me in different light when I go house visit during CNY.. Sianz! She previously told the aunti that my temper become worse after giving birth..
