Hi everyone


I have some good quality ladies jacket skirt and pant suits that I want to clear. I have kept them since I stopped work several years ago to be a SAHM. Its mainly from Marks and Spencer and Richards (bought when I was working in UK) , size 10 and its still in very good condition as I dry clean all my suits. Mainly dark blue, grey and black colors.

If you are interested, please PM me. Thank you.

Haha I don’t like to work heh but guess too bad money doesn’t drop from the sky and on top of that,I just feel we need some money for safe- keeping, be it ftwm or sahm. With the complex relationships and warped values nowadays, we got to take care of ourselves and our kids. Heh, that’s why I never say no when my hubby offers to buy me stuff. Haha, guess he realize I always say Yes so much that he hardly offers heh

Hi mummies,


A FTWM reporting here I've been back at work right after my maternity ended when my DD turned four months and she went to infant care. In a blink of an eye, she's just turned 4 years-old.

Happy with my job and trying to cope day by day, living on own with no helper. Thankfully, I have a very hands-on hubby who helps around the home and also shares the parenting responsibility with me.

I remind myself that having financial independence in this day and age and having a job also gives me personal growth and development. Not forgetting a social life, ability to pamper myself and go on holidays. :please:

I also blog my journey as a working mum at http://ajugglingmom.com. Perhaps this is a post that all mums here can relate too as well

Ever consider switching your current job to part time? Speak to your employer about it.

Currently I'm a FTWM, if I choose to cook dinner for my child, there is no time to teach her after that. If I choose to teach her and to eat food bought from food court, I feel like I'm depriving her of home cooked food. There is still housework to manage. Sometimes it's a bit too much for a FTWM to cope.

By converting your full time work to part time work, it allows you to juggle family and work better.
