pris, i also am starting to feel tired, even after sleeping a full 8 hours at night.
phy, ha ha, yup no 3 and final one...
pinkmama, it depends on your maid. My maid is very discreet and doesn't eat much. She won't go and take all the best parts for herself, so I am fine to let her scoop her own food first. There was only once or twice when i scooped for her, for example, last week I ordered food in to celebrate FIL bday, but I realised prawns not enough (cos FIL loves prawns alot and I wanted to save for him), so I scooped for her the other dishes and put on a plate.
