dazed: my part time lady comes in once a week now. And she does full cleaning every time she's in. As in even windows and fans. Cos we don't need her to do our ironing nor change our sheets. She even advised me to buy dettol so she can clean the surfaces cos that's what her doctor client does. Says it's more hygenic for baby next time.
gelato: my hubby has said he'd use the magic clean to wipe the floors mid week cos our cleaning lady comes in on mondays. So far he hasn't done it. But with just the 2 of us, the house doesn't get all that dirty yet. Think once baby comes and especially during confinement, we'll have to do that.

suika: my cleaning lady mixes abit of dettol disinfectant in a small pail of water and she uses that to wipe the surfaces esp in the baby's room. So far I only have a chest of drawers in. So she wipes that for me. She did say next time baby cot etc all can wipe. Cos that's what her doctor client requested her to do.
Ange : haha... same advice to u - if hb travels to US, ask him to bring back an irobot! hehe, dun bother abt magic clean - let the machine do the job. In fact, i was thinking, how nice if there's a robot that can do all housework & do cooking - then, no need maid liao... haha

sus: yah..initially I was planning to let MIL look after baby after 3mths when I get back to work. But as mths pass by, and she shows more of her ugly and demanding side, I changed my mind and told hubby I wont ever let MIL look after bb. And I got more firm with my decision and we have been telling all uncles and aunties (hubby side) that I will look after not MIL.

piyo.. I have same problem as u! I was disturbed about my small tummy cos of the comments made by other pple.. its made me go on a binge for a while 2 weeks ago.. but den I realized there's nothing I can do lor.. and it will pass.. just afraid of stretch marks when we suddenly balloon up!
gelato/Ange: so high tech.. how much is i-robot? my PT maid just started last week.. but she's pretty slow.. like spend whole afternoon din even get to the windows.. Im afraid if next time ask her to do whole house cleaning will have time to clean windows and curtains a not.. we also do bi-weekly cos now only 2 of us, house quite clean (and our dirty tolerance is very high haha)
should I ask her to do things faster? or skip the whole house cleaning so she can do the windows and curtains?

sus, only bad thing abt irobot is it cannot clean at tight corners. but i don't mind.
i tried doing irobot daily, my floor looks very polished and shiny.
there are many models of irobot, latest model is 300-350ish usd.

Hello everybody! Hope u all had a relaxing weekend... Not many left for us, heh heh.
I spent the weekend shopping for a car. My present car is too small.
We wanted to buy a 6 month old Audi A4. This is the only second hand car in the market now cos this new model was launched only in May. This particular car was brought in for the senior executives at Audi to try try and now Audi released it for second hand sale.
Went to test drive and went home to think about it. The next day, called up but was too late - already snapped up by someone else. Was very disappointed. In fact we called just as that person was signing off on the sale.
Funny thing is that when we were having dinner on Sunday, the second hand car dealer called up and said that his friend at Audi can sell us a brand new car at a good discount but must buy that night cos his friend needs to meet the weekly quota. Normally Audi never gives discount but this was a special case cos they didn't meet their quota. We said we would think about it over dinner and after discussing, we decided to go for it. Then his friend called us up and offered us a further discount! So in the end we went to the Audi showroom at 9.30pm (the showroom closes at 7pm and his friend opened the showroom just for us) and we bought a brand new car direct from Audi with a great discount!
So strange how it all turned out, but very very happy.

sus: Usually part time cleaning ladies alternate with the windows. Either once every 2 weeks or once a month. Ours does it every week because she doesn't need to do our ironing. But I think more importantly is she does a good job with the bedrooms, toilets and living area. I hardly cook @ home so my kitchen is quite clean.

gelato: i think can send for repair. but i lazy, so its lying at one corner of my house collecting dust. i think i am a traditional person. i like to do hands-on rather than trsut robots. i just did a mini spring cleaning on my own over the weekend. end up, the next day, my butt is so sore! =( hahaa
piyo: no lar. i where got bigger than u? my colleague commented that my tumm looks like when she is 8 months preggie, and say my boy sure come out over 3kg one! *cross fingers*

sus : there're a few versions, if i m not wrong. We only got the basic 1 at abt S$400+, heard it's selling ard S$1k in S'pore.
When we were using PT maid, she hardly hv time to clean windows as well - normally 4 hrs only enough to wash toilet, vacuum, mop & iron clothes. Sometimes, she'll wash the fans & occasionally clean the window. As for what you want her to do will very much depends on what's more impt to you. =)

cheeky: how long is the warranty for i-robot? price sounds good! But according to Ni it broke down after 6 months?
Ange: we also dun ask the PT maid to do ironing.. I guess maybe she is quite meticulous compared to us so she takes twice the time we take to do vaccumming and mopping.. will see if she gets to the windows next week =) thanks!
Miaiko: where do u stay? maybe SAHMs in the same area can hang out together hehe

sus...i wasnt so much of disturbed by the comments as I noe bb is growing well...in fact im rather pleased that wif a smaller tummy, hopefully it will lower the risk of having stretch marks...still crossing my fingers on that aspect...haha
pinkie....Audi is a very good car especially A4...sleek looking and can perform reasonably well....im oso toying wif the idea of disposing my soon to be 6 years old car even though it had serve me very well for the last few years but worrying abt possible high maintenance issues in time to come. however I have not made up my mind as wif bb's arrival just around the corner...im not sure if I would like to have another major committment...by the way hw much discount did u managed to fetch? hee

ange, TT is so nice, like the look of TT.
sus, no warranty for irobots if bought from USA.
once shipped out of USA, warranty is void.
but if u buy locally, there is a warranty.

ange/sus, my pt maid quite fast, no ironing lah, but she'll def clean 1 room's window and fan everytime she's here... all in about 4 or 4.5 hr... of course all the cleaning and mopping of rooms and wash 2 toilets too...
at least once a week thorough cleaning mah... plus, me and my mom will be in during confinement month wor... dunno what hb thinking... he just very uncomfortable with pt maid coming in... usually will go out for breakfast when she's here to siam lor... so i suppose getting a maid next time is def out of qn...
