anyone has any idea...

is it possible to (or how to) wash the interior of a washing machine???

Coz my helper told me yesterday that she washed the interior of the machine, before putting in baby's clothes to wash. I was tired, so didn't question her further. but now that I think about it, I'm wondering...how to wash the insides?? And she said she wash and drained out water. HUH?? Coz my machine is those super simple kind of machine. 3 buttons nia...1. Start/Pause 2. The different types of washing - regular, heavy duty, delicate, soak. 3. On/off. So how to drain out the water? I dun even know how to drain the water off my own machine...hahahaha

Then I also noticed yesterday that the laundry bags (empty ones) were soaking wet. No reason mah...coz even if spin dry etc, it wouldn't be so wet. And she can tell me, "it's very wet...so strange"...riiiiittteee...

I dunno, is it me or is it her? I'm not that savvy with wahing machines. hahaha.
 
csi: can run the washing machine cycle using baking soda, vinegar or bleach when empty instead of washing powder/ detergent supposed to be good for the washing machine too, but we never do that, haha. I dont know how your helper did it la.
 
CSI: my machine can wash e interior type. so i not sure how she does it.

she prob on e machine n fill it wif water then scrub? then close cover to spin?
 
CSI, what is the brand of the machine?

Most of the machines nowadays can do cleaning. And advise to wash machine once a month. I worked with a Japanese brand manufacturer "TO....". So know abit of this techical stuff. Some machines even come with the washing function. U basically use pour the bleach into the machine & it will just spin and drain off. Look at your operation manual, they should able to advise.

CSI, as for the laundry bag,I dont quite understand your message. Sorry!
 
my washing machine is Sony brand. Oh, can was interior one ah? heehee...I really didn't know! haha.

My machine is top load, and helper is shorter than me (i'm average height lah). So dunno how she bend over to scrub. Yah...will ask her tonight. Yesterday was really tired after one day out with baby. hahaha.

Oh Flower, the bit on the laundry bag...

coz hb has the habit of throwing in the laundry bag back into the machine after taking out hte laundry and hanging them out. So by then, the bags are quite dry liaoz (after spinning etc). So he taught the helper to do the same lah. But yesterday, as I reached inside the machine to pull out a bag (intended to put baby's clothes inside), the laundry bags were wetter than usual. like, soaking wet lorh. So I asked helper why like that, she said dunno. Coz they were dry when she put them back in. Okaaaay....then I left her to go put baby's clothes into the bags. Then as she did so, she suddenly mention, "yah, the bags are very wet...so strange"... er...okaaaay....

heehee...
 
Hi all! Just wanted to say a quick "hello!". Sorry, been very busy with work and baby so no time to drop by. Catch up another time - take care!
 
CSI, oh I didnt know Sony has washer. It could be that your helper didnt drain away the water. You must pick up the operation manual and take a look & see if you can have the option of drainage. Anyway, when the next wash starts, the water will be drain off before starting the cycle. So not a big problem.

Hell Kidz, was wondering where have you been. Not seen you here for quite a while. You take care!
 
Flower, yah...not a big issue. Just that I felt how come my helper couldn't be more upfront about it. She's only been here and with us for 2 weeks. Not sure must ask mah (something we keep repeating to her). So I just feel that even if she needs to wash the interior etc, just say lorh.

Probably there's option for drainage, but I dunno lah. heehee...
 
anyone interested in bringing your baby for this Positive Infant programme at BabyBreeze? (more details, can check out BabyBreeze website. www.babybreeze.biz). I'll be bringing my gal for a trial class next Sunday (15 June at 11.30am). Trial class costs $35 for 1 parent + baby. The person in charge (Ellen) informed that they are having a 1-for-1 promo for the trial class. If there are 2 sets of babies, the parents just pay $35 for the trial (i.e. each would be $17). Anyone interested? I'll be bringing my baby there lah (rather, hb will be bringing), regardless of whether I can get a friend to go along or not. But of course, if got another friend to join, can lower cost...why not right? heehee...
 
Hi CSI_Fan

when's the trial? If it's in June, I'm thinking of sending my hubby with Dana there too! Can call me so we can discuss more? How much is the full course of 8 lessons?
 
Hi angel, petrina,
the trial session is on 15 June (Sunday). Full course of 8 sessions is $200+ (can't remember the exact figure, but I can call to enquire further). Will update u gals, okie?

Hey, saw BabyBreezes has a baby cafe.

"Baby Cafe
Our Baby Cafe is open once a week and set out with small coffee tables and plenty of comfortable sofas and loads of play areas for babies and toddlers. All expectant and breastfeeding mums are welcome to join in this friendly gathering to share, learn and support each in their new roles as parents.
There is a nominal contribution of $5 towards beverages and snacks.
Schedule
Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month, from 11am to 2pm."

Maybe can gather there.
 
Yes Flower, that's a great idea! The next 2nd Wed of the month is next week (10 June). Anyone wants to meet there? Am on adoption leave in June to bond with Dana so weekdays are fine.

Mummies with maids, I need advice. My helper of 2 months requested this morning to send her back to Philippines as she misses her young daughter and is not prepared to be so far away from her family. It is her 1st time working away from home. This is despite the fact that we treat her very very well (in her own words)
sad.gif
What shall I do? headache* so hard to find a good maid we can trust...
 
Angel,

There is a few things you need to think :

1. Who's going to pay for her airticket?
2. Her advanced Loan from the agent?
3. The new maid fees that you going to incur?

So if you really want to let her go, ask her to endure for another 4 more months till she finishes off her loan and save enough to buy her own airticket, then you can consider changing. This is not fair to you as you have paid for her loan in advance and the admin fee you going to incur to change a new one.

Of course, tell her is a more tactic way like oh you need time to look for another good maid like her and it takes months to look for one. furthermore, the baby has already know her, would prefer her than a new one. From now on, dont let her go for her leave, if possible.
 
Sleek,

Tanglin Mall is fine. What about next mon?

"WHERE? #03 -11 TANGLIN MALL
MOTHER AND CHILD CENTRE
WHEN? EVERY MONDAY.
WHAT TIME? 2 - 4PM
COST? $15 ENTRANCE
ADDITONAL BF CONSULTATIONS AT REGULAR RATE OF $75 DOLLARS PER SESSION. "
 
Flower, I've spoken to the agent.

1. Air-ticket: Maid has to buy her own if she wants to go back (which she does not have)
2. Maid has to repay her advance loan from the agent (around S$1200)
3. There are additional fees which I've to bear like applying for new Work Permit for new maid, new insurance etc. Not to mention all the inconveniences and time I've to spend in selecting and re-training a new maid all over again.
sad.gif


Actually my helper says she feels very comfortable working for us but she is too homesick (1st time working away from home). We treat her very well - we allow her to call her family every Sunday night and even use our PC to email her hubby every Saturday! We give her ample time to rest, she has her own room, she can read the newspapers anytime she wants during her free time, we allow her to switch on the radio the whole day to sing along with the music while she's looking after Dana, we bring her to church every Sunday (she sits in the main auditorium while hubby and I look after Dana in the nursery room!). So dunno what she's unhappy about. She commented that life in Singapore very sad as flat is too quiet, not like her kampung. Perhaps she's really taking advantage of our kindness. Honestly speaking, she's never worked as a domestic helper before, she dunno how nasty some employers can be...
 
Hi, angel..

I think that your maid is too demanding. My maid have been with me for about 2mth oni but she is not so demanding like ur maid. althought my maid is quite blur and forgeting. but she tell me that she know that if she decide to go back and break her contract, she will have alot of money need to pay. my maid tell me that she not only owe the agent in spore loan, all maid coming to spore also did get a loan from they phip agent also. Therefore if she decide to go back, i tell you, she surly got no money to pay back one.

can know which agent you take your maid from ma? Coz my is from Jack focus, and my agency do give me free maid replacement except i have to pay the insurance fee again etc again lah. If your maid really dun wan to work for u, y dun you just send her back to the agent? and get another maid?? as if ur maid wan to go back her country, leave it for ur agency to settle. coz i think this is not ur problem anyway. Your maid agency shld slove this issue with ur maid themsleve, Not u!!

Oh ya, you mention ur maid use email to email her hubby ya? my maid say if ur maid hubby got comouter at philp, than he shld't be that poor. tell your maid that if she wan to go back phip, than ask her hubby to send her money to buy ticket to go back.. Honestly, I think u shld change another maid, coz now that you at home she already behave like that, wat if you are not at home? .. how big is ur bb?
 
hey mummies of babies > 6 mths...

Just want to ask...did you feed ur babies sweet potato puree or carrot puree before? Must mix with milk or not? Or just give it to them "neat"?

Also...after freezing the puree, it's in the ice cube trays. Can remove from tray and put in another freezer bag or container, right? then how to defrost or warm up that particular cube, when u need to feed baby?

Thanks!
 
flower sounds good

who else wants to go, 9th or 16th?

"WHERE? #03 -11 TANGLIN MALL

1) flower
2) sleek
3) petrina?
4) angel?
 
csi: For pure veg/ fruit puree, I used to give it to my son neat. It's up to you though, but for now it's just for them to get used to the taste, texture of the food and how to swallow & 'chew'. So you don't have to worry so much about actual amount eaten
happy.gif
I never freeze so I cant advise for that, I'm sure 1 of the other mums will have experience with that.
 
haha, I know organic cereal tastes like cardboard, even mixed with ebm!! very yucky, no wonder my son didn't like it after the initial few weeks.. heehee
 
mummies, the BP for California Baby products are here again in the BP section. Kidz introduced its Calendula Cream to me in April and I've fallen in love with it. We apply it to Dana's neck and skin creases along her inner elbow and thighs (after her baths) and on her bum (after change of diaper), making her smell so fresh and nice! Highly recommended as it's organic. Check them the entire range of CB products here at: http://www.californiababy.com/diaper-care.html then order at the BP here http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/1462954.html?1212586936. Collection point is at Clementi MRT, convenient for all of us.
happy.gif
Needless to say, I've ordered more items this time round

Happy shopping!
