joyce, babymay, lily and abby,
i tot we can go borrow cheekz's place for gathering again coz she has a very nice and big area for us to mingle ard..
else i can book function room at my place but the function room is only 1/3 the space of cheekz..
if u ladies r alright, then maybe can propose a date (weekday probably) and i can book..
as for food wise, we can go for buffet again but from another caterer for diff food..

gd morning ladies!

I'm back to work liao..today is the 3rd day @ work..and missing my babies @ home.

Shers, what happened to ur domestic helper? got problem? is she the one transferred from ur neighbour?

Abby, indeed pushing prams ard singapore is not easy..so last time i used to bring my #1 in carrier..safer lor..coz sometimes ppl dun give way to prams one..so u might wanna consider putting her in carrier instead

btw, ur baby's name is the same as my #1's name

 

[shers]

915,
this current helper is not the one transfer from my neighbour. its a new helper from the agency u recommend me.. current helper sucks!!! use alot of eye power instead of hand.. when come to eat, she is the 1st..
i think engaging her is like inviting trouble to my mum and myself.. during my stays at my mum's place then i know her pattern..
else when i'm ard, she knows how to pattern pattern..

 

[shers]

BTW mummies,
i have 2 preloved yaolan for sales... those U-shaped... i have added 2 more springs to the 2 yaolans. if u r keen, please PM me for pictures and price.. will give best price for MAY thread mummies!!!

 

[bb_hopeful]

915,
didnt get my neighbour's helper because she behaved very strangely before i do transfer. then my neighbour advised me not to get her. so in the end, i get a new experienced helper from agency. headache le... i have been having nightmares daily!!! especially when i bring both kids home on weekends with her.. every 3hrs, can tell me she is hungry... and i have to prepare food for her.. got once i super TL with her.. i was managing 2 cranky kids then she told me she is hungry. i cannot tahan and shout at her! then ask her cook maggie mee. then at my mum place, 11+am, she sits in the living room and wait for my mum to cook her lunch. gosh!!! when i saw that, i ask her go kitchen and prepare her own lunch. i say my mum is not her maid. engaged her to eat only ar.
i spoke to agent b4.. she asks me send her back for scolding. then i say its ok.. i will monitor for another 1mth. after 1 mth, she is still the same.. so i told agent, i cant take it liao. with her ard, i very stressed up.. i need to send her back already. now i bring only 1 kid home during weekend.. alterate lor.. no choice.. then i do my own housework.. stupid la.. but at least i'm happier..

[porky_jean]

ibite, the gathering at JP i might not be gg le...cos too far lah and no one share cab with me...

 

[shers]

me also no going because i havent recover from running nose.. dont wan to spread virus to babies and mums

 

[miracle_babe]

Shers,

sorry to hear abt ur helper from hell.
how come she needs u to prepare food for her? sad but true, usually these helpers need to be scrutinised and scold before they become auto. Your helper sounded like my 1st helper. Is she new maid or transfer maid? Does she knows u r sending her back? better not let her know in advance. Check her stuffs and make sure she dun steal anything before u send her back.

i bought a big tin of biscuits for my helper, told her that if she is hungry, she can eat the biscuits or cook maggie mee. So far my current one is well-trained liao...she came in as new without any experience. Then the initial 1 yr i will scrutinise and ask her to redo if things are not clean and i do reviews with her every mth. i am hoping she can extend another 2 yrs.

 

[shers]

915,
yes!!! she is from HELL... whahhaa...
she is new with experienced from middle east.. she has no cue that i'm sending her back.. cannot let her know..
last weekend, i had check her stuff at my hse already... packed already..
for the rest of her stuff at my mum place, havent pack yet... got to send her back before i check..
i also bought a big tin of biscuits.. and she finished all within 3 weeks.. imagine, she is only back to my place on sat and sun half day and she finished all.. gosh!!!
i also did monthly reviews with her.. i tell her whats wrong with her and expect her to change.. she can talk back.. what the F***.. urgh...
dont wan to talk abt her liao.. super sian.. the sight of her made me MAD!

 

[bb_hopeful]

audrey,
i'm interested. but have to see how much first

[ling2009]

dodo,

i asked this qn last wk.. was told 4hrs..

 

[oreomama]

ling lim,

thanks! going out now!

 

[carolinequek]

hey mummies - for those who hv bought the binders from Audrey - how long did it take you to lose the inches? I have been wearing M size for 24 hrs over 2 weeks - haven't dropped to S size (outest hook) yet leh... I didn't eat alot also

Any tips?

 

[aichiensl]

Abby,
I live near to u ler... haha.. at teban gardens, near to main road, opp church...

bean,
You can ask your PIL, maybe you can get the telon oil in KL.

 

[baby_may_09]

Tinkles Mum, I think that the binders is very elastic. You just hook them one by one. After I hook, I can still see my tummy while wearing the binders. Maybe, I did not hook to the last hook. I think my tummy is real flabby.

 

[adv_sports]

gd afternoon ladies

flommy, bean, 915 &amp; tinklesmum, thanks for the tip on redness @ skin folds

bean, if use destin cream, will it be difficult to wipe off?

jamie_nov, haha, yah my bb has monday blues oledi coz we bring her out on weekends -- her sleep &amp; milk schedule interrupted...

 

[aupok]

<font color="ff0099"> binders
it works faster on some, slower on some..
like any other binders, the most effective would be immediately after birth so results will definitely be slower at this stage.

baby may, yup u will still see ur tummy after wearing it because the material is thin n its elastic. but when u take it off, it is supposed to be flatter.

after birth i was 34 n now i've lost 7 inches so to me, this binder works plus its not expensive as those commercialized ones thats why i recommended it.

like i said, it works faster for some, slower for some. if it works n results r instantaneous, i would be a millionaire. lol

commercialized slimming tea etc.. some loses weight, some doesnt.. so to each its own.</font>

 

[bean_bean]

adv sports,
Are you usuing the original (purple color) one? You may like to change to the creamy version (blue). Its smoother and easier to apply and clean off.

 

[adv_sports]

bean, i m using the creamy one... my gal dun like to show me her skin folds under her double chins...

 

[baby_may_09]

Re binders

Yeah, the binders is very elastic, much more comfortable than my previous one.

 

[baby_may_09]

adv sports, maybe you apply when she is sleeping?

 

[bean_bean]

Adv sports,
You got to be rough! Hahahaha push her chin up.. My girl also don't like. But i have to force or else I cannot apply the cream for her!
