(2009/09) September 2009 MTBs

girlygirly> dunno leh. hubby is de one who decides which big ticket item to buy. so things like stroller, car seat n cot is he decide one. i only buy misc stuffs n clothes for bb. think he is de one handling de stroller more often, so i leave it to him to choose which to buy.

flower4> ya. in fact britax all is 0-4yrs old. check out robinsons too. sometimes have 15% discount n with robinsons card, got additional 5% rebate. quite worth it. get the high end model n it comes with car seat protector.

i oso din buy car at de very cheap coe time. wanna get when it was 2k, but hubby was wondering if we need a car now. cos he wks at raffles place, while i dun haf a license. so now our car is parked at hm. so he wanted to get end of de year, when we deliver bb n he moves to sci park.

but tat day we went to showroom with my brother, den he bought a car, so i oso follow him, went n buy mine car =x it was sort of on impulse, when coe was ard 7k+. now we saved 7k cos de price of de car went up 7k with de coe =p

mama to 6js> ya. u all many kids, appeal shuld b easier. but if i 1kid, den i try to appeal, say car no space. they will think i m trying to be funny -_-"

same as me. i oso will not get a 2nd hand pump. think it's a hygeine prob. even if pump left unused for sometime, i'll contemplate getting a new one. to mention buying something tat someone has used before, esp something so personal, i think it's not very hygenic. =x

milkyway> ya. i do not find baby kingdom very cheap. in fact to me, it's juz a baby store where u can find everything. in fact alot of things after i buy there, i find it cheaper at departmental stores if i find hard enugh. is juz de convenience dat u see everything n one shot can buy everything.

britax from robinson/taka/bb kingdom is uk model. fr mothercare is austrailia model. so u got to c wat model u looking for, den search de diff place. price wise is pretty standard. at most i saw is 15% discount.

rach> haha. dunno leh. all de stroller is hubby try to open n close. to me it's all too heavy to carry. so i nv try how it works =p but seems like he prefer de s705 more too. so we settled for tat one.

hehe. good move. wait for after full mth. for me i dun think anyone will give me things. cos usually frens we oso bao angpow. so expected dey will do de same. so i no need wait =x

as for the cot, i think it's 30inch ba. cos 1inch for each side of the wood n some allowance? de cot is probably smaller cos de leg come with wheels? de wheels probably take up more space too. tonite i go hm measure mine n let u know.

itsy> maclaren is good too. but deir model comes fr very basic to very ex. hahha. think capella more common in sgp. mclaren used by alot of foreigners living in sgp though.

keke i oso haven wash clothings, name for bb, pack hospital bag n gotten diapers n pumps. de rest are probably ready.
 


shelled: yeah 2nd hand cot.. budget.. plus minus $100 bah.. hehe else i will have to add that to my list and let my friends n colleagues choose whether to give me a cot or high chair cum rocker hehe

Sorry to intrude. My wife is selling her Medela Freestyle breast pump. Still brand new. Seldom used.

------------------

1. How old is the unit?

Bought this year. Can't remember which month. Also, the battery is brand new. Never charge before.

2. Any warranty?

Yes still have.

3. Local set (bought locally)?

Bought locally.

4. How much r u guys selling it?

Yes. It is a full set. The one that you see at the store. My wife is giving away the mum fairies super shield also. I think she has 2 sets of it.
 
<font color="ff6000">kiddo</font>
I also very gian to get the Combi chair! I thought its quite useful with multiple functions. But it's not cheap (more ex than a regular cot!) and I keep seeing mommies selling them off in the WTS threads... So I reserve my doubts about the actual usefulness of it.
 
<font color="ff6000">Jul</font>
Sibei good day to sleep today also. RAINING!!! Joshua and I are both tapping into our piggy instincts today. I woke up at 3pm, and he is STILL SLEEPING!
 
shelled

I wish I cud sleep too! See? At least as a SAHM, u get to nap if u wanna. All the free aircon &amp; internet access in an office job can't be traded for an pm nap lor haha.
 
shelled
izzit??? hahah i dun go into the WTS threads...
coz i put my gal on it and she seems enjoying it...
i thot of it as if i go to other rooms it like a moving mini cot... But i do think that it can;t be sleep for long as quite hard.. not like cot got nice mattress etc...
so TEMPTED!!! should i buy!!!
 
Oops! After buying diaper bags, bag organiser, lots of Cal BB, etc etc.. Now I wanna buy BB balnkets.

shelled

Oh u mentioned there's a shop near ur place which sells nice &amp; cheap blankets hor? Still there or not? How much roughly are the blankets?

I'm looking for those 100% cotton ones. Issit called combed cotton? I dun want those with lots of fluff &amp; lint.. I want thos cooling, cotton ones. And I dun want blue colour again (so boring..)
 
kiddo

I am trying not to look at the Combi chair u're talking abt. The $$ has to be channelled into a car seat for 0-4 yrs lor.

Actually, I haven't bot anything like car seat, stroller, cot etc. Either using hand me down or not getting. Dun think I'll get things like rocker, bouncer, high chair, etc either.

Not sure if really need these things lor. So trying not to overspend. I was just telling ling the other day that I've spent close to $4k on maternity &amp; BB stuff already, not including the $$ spent on gynae's appt, supplements, &amp; various fetal tests.
 
Gina,

My friend is letting go her cot. I have PM you, you can contact her directly to find out more.

***********

TAKA BB FAIR

Very likely there will be a Taka Baby Fair, probably end Aug. I know of 2 contacts who both confirm they will have booth at the fair in Aug.
 
wifey

Eng0Aug will def be too late for me liao. Byt then I wud be in week39 haha. Looks like I better make sure everything is bot &amp; ready then.
 
<font color="ff6000">Jul</font>
You hor.. that time i say buy for you, you say don't want. I dunno now still have or not. Later i go and see. But they are usually those double-layer combed cotton sort. Cos it's old factory stock from Old Navy/Gap. Roughly $5-$10 each? Later i go see lah.

<font color="ff6000">kiddo</font>
Time for u to start going to WTS threads!! Sometimes got really good deals lor. I bought a 2nd-hand Fisherprice Newborn-To-Toddler rocker for #2, only $40! Pretty good condition some more. Cos last time #1 would lie on a mattress on the floor in the living room, but now #2 i cannot put on the floor because #1 might accidentally step on him. I didn't want to buy a brand new rocker cos its abt $150, and dunno bb will want to sit in it or not. So buy cheap cheap 2nd hand. If he don't sit, at least I didn't waste too much money.

As for the Combi chair... I think if you can afford to splurge a bit, then buy lah. The only issue I have with it is that while the padded cloth cover can be washed, there is no spare piece while it is being washed/dried lor. And if you use it as high chair, sure get dirty from food stains one lor.

<font color="ff6000">wifey</font>
Ooooh. Thanks for the info! But I'm due in late Aug leh! So it means I cannot wait until Taka BB fair to buy the rest of my stuff already...
sad.gif
I wonder if my hubs will let me go shopping during confinement...
lol.gif
 
shelled

I tot can get from BBmall also mah, so I slowly take my time lor. Who knows BBmall either out of stock, or they c****ed up the order, &amp; the dept stores' expensive ones are all BLUE! I'm soooo sick of blue. Why must gals all use pink &amp; boys use blue? What's wrong with ornage, yellow, green, ANY OTHER COLOURS?????

Ok finishing ranting..

Help me see ok? Size, texture/material &amp; colours. Rem.. I dun want BLUE.. hehe
 
Jul/shelled..
hahah i spend too much liao.... hahah got to control... coz everything first hand i din buy any 2nd hand things b4 !!hahah me spend too much... the most expensive toy i bot for #1 is the fisher price musical thing but can't remeber the name at that time SG dun have got to import from USA.. abt $200++ my dotter play till sian lioa then finally it was in SG coz abt $100++ That y i dun go WTS!

Taka fair - i also waiting to buy my pumps in Aug hopefully either i out of hospital or haven't pop!!!
THEN I CAN LOOK AT THE COMBI HIGH CHAIR AGAIN!!!
 
kiddo

I also nvr buy anything 2nd hand lah. Only have 2nd hand cot, but I bot a new Babysafe mattress to replace it b/c I discovered the old one was darned gross! Got pee stains!

Gog to get a brand new car seat - no pt getting 2nd hand b/c not safe. U nvr know the wear &amp; tear it has gone thru.

As for stroller, I'll just use the old pram first, then see if I need to get a stroller or not.
 
Shelled
Hahha confinement still wanna go shopping?!

Jul
I actually bought pink, white, yellow and green for my boy leh. No need to stick to blue lah.
 
Rach. Transferred!

Today I only do one customer, Got time to transfer... ^^ Ref. 5090.

Do any of you all think I should be resting and not do much customers now?

Customers tell me I will have an easy delivery looking at how active I am on the salon floor, But then again my Brother-in-law says now I'm so active, Later my kid's gonna be a handful. >.<

How~~~

happy.gif

Only 4 tiers on promotion. 5 tiers selling at $66.89.
 
bumboo seat .. ya i also consider that b4 after thinking coz it FIXED size cannot be adjsuted so once BB hit a size would be of no use that y never buy!!

COMBI COMBI COMBI!!!! wanna get one!!!
 
<font color="0000ff">Pamelia></font> ah...so its u.. i was wondering who transfered to me. hahaha...

happy.gif
 
itsy

I want yellow, green etc. I dun quite like pink hehe. But I can't seem to find. All I see is blue or pink. So limited right?

pamelia

Depends on ur body mah. If u can take it physically, dun see why u shd just sit still &amp; do nothing. Exercise helps in ease of delivery right?

kiddo

That's why bumbo must get 2nd hand haha.
 
rach,
ya suddenly forget that u recognise by nick. so giant SSC is have the promo for the 4 tier algo cabinet, no wonder i couldn't find it in Giant Jurong IMM. Later going NTUC Fairprice Xtra at Jurong Point. Wonder they have anot.
 
<font color="ff6000">itsy</font>
Confinement stay at home everyday, I will ki siao lor. Best if can go walk walk a bit. When I had #1 and my MIL was a bit naggy about me going out, my hubs would let me go walk walk a bit after bringing #1 to PD checkup. And then walk walk a bit also after my postnatal checkup. He say keep staying at home and facing newborn, later I go crazy, so it's good to get some air and change of scenery. But this time round, I not sure if he'll still let me go walk walk or not...

<font color="ff6000">Jul</font>
Ok ok. Don't want blue. Later I go look-see.
 
Rach,

Yes! It's Me!!! ^^

Jul,

I'm the hyperactive kind, But when I have been this active throughout my ENTIRE pregnancy, And sometime I stand for a whole 4-5 hours straight I don't know if it's considered good. And you know.. The chemicals I handle... Rebond blabla... I don't touch them directly because I wear gloves... But smell... Don't know if it's good...

Time for class... Though it's at 7.. But AMK HUB always carpark full!!!
 
shelled

Hehe kam siah kam siah hor.

pamelia

Well, I guess if we can avoid any chemicals, we shd try to do so. But if in the course of work, cannot help it, we also bobian right? I think just do ur best not to touch the chemicals lor. Maybe u can shorten ur hours in the salon.. or when there're no customers, u can be outside the salon where there's ventilation &amp; u dun breathe in so much fumes?
 
Kat,
bb pop early

if u go to aug09 mtb thread, u go see their chart, alot of mummies there pop way b4 their EDD leh..

i panic now... my house is in the mess.....

Combi Chair
i saw this at mothercare harbourfront. v comfy indeed! i also v tempted to buy

Bumbo Seat
yep i used this before. v convenient. but once baby is active, dun expect them to sit too long in there, v boring! also, those babies with fat thighs and fat butts will find it v uncomfortable after a while.
 
<font color="0077aa">mamato6js</font>
my in laws saw the combi chair oso fell in luv with it...
kiddy palace selling another brand but similar type design and cheaper.. but the plastic seem so filmsy...
 
<font color="0077aa">mamato6js</font>

Shelled
If 1st born, your hubby allowed you to go jalan, then 2nd one sure can too.. Hello! Been there Done that liao, surely the rules will be more relaxed this time round.
 

Hi all mummies,
i've been so busy today and only had time to drop in now.. clearing my 2 days work in 1 day cos i'm going to my little princess tmr!!

Preparation
I've not washed the clothes! I've not packed my bag!! wat else have i not done?? aiyoh i also dont know leh.. suddenly u gals are making me panic too...

Combi highchair
yeah! my frens are sharing this as bb shower gift!! and i'll be collecting it in advance on 25 Jul.. hehe.. one of them highly recommend this highchair lor.. cos nb can lie in it and toddlers can also use it when they start eating... i think it costs only $279 but my fren bought it during the GSS with 10% discount and i think it comes with a plastic cover to protect the cushion when feed the baby.
