Decided to forgo the BK burgers and cook a simple lunch since dd will be back soon -
MrsKiasu:

I didn't take note, but remember it was unacceptable to me. But it also depends on what you are looking for.ammonite:
[quote=\"MrsKiasu\"]

PT cleaner - is it 15 or 20 per hour now?

I think manual work commands higher pay nowadays. Recently I was shifting 2 furniture. Need disassemble single bed into 2 pieces and disassemble my big desk into 3 pieces so that I can get them through bedroom door to shift to another spot in my house. I was quoted cheapest $100, $150 and highest $200 :shock:
I don't even need transport leh. And the $100 quote said only disassemble and assemble but won't help to shift the pieces. Different fees if need to ζ¬ those pieces to another spot to assemble. Wow even got piecemeal pricing.
The $150 quote said no guarantee won't spoilt desk after disassembling. Got caveat.
I gave up. Arrowed the job to dh lor. Told dh I won't fault him if he spoilt my desk. Dh used 2 allen keys to disassemble bed and 2 screw drivers to disassemble desk.
Dh and I plus my free labour dd1 ζ¬ desk. Bed only need 2 to shift.
Then repeat process 2 allen keys and 2 screw drivers to assemble. Done!
Now dh insisted I owe him $200

It sounds ridiculous, but I think perhaps include transport fee. So they are charging you a flat transport fee and then the rest is for the job involved.
If you have a neighbour who is good at such things, he may come and fix it for a much better rate since he can just walk over.
But of course, if your man can do it, all the better! -

A couple of years ago I engaged my regular mover to shift 2 items - a fridge and a marble table from one house to another house. Transport by lorry. He only charged me $60.
But he quit liao. Not in this business anymore.
Now I need to source for more reasonably priced mover.
Can't hire those 3 movers. Imagine if ask them to move whole house content plus transport by lorry sure super super expensive

MrsKiasu:
Definitely not @ $10/hour!
me wondering, actually what hourly rates will move you mommies to work arh? go out to office or work at comfort from home.
Rather than me going to work earning meager wages, I would get my kids to quit tuition instead.
That sum of savings from quitting tuition can immediately be my pocket money liao.
1 session tuition say for example $70 means I have to work 7 hours :scared: εΉ²εθ¦ζε»εθ¦ε? Why not kids study additional 7 hours to make up for no tuition? :siam: -

MKS, cannot be. That is too expensive. In singapore?
Sleepy has a choice, so εΉ²εζε»εθ¦ is a logical qn in her situation.
I think we can all understand and respect mothers - and fathers!! - who ιζ© εθ¦to better the lives of their children. -

Speechless huh :rotflmao:
My logic is θ―»δΉ¦ζ¬ζ₯ε°±ζ―ε¦ηηδ»½ε δΊ tuition is a luxury not an entitlement hor.
If I have to slog 1 whole day just to pay for 1 lesson of tuition, they should be ashamed of themselves that I have to go to this extent for them
I would certainly be ashamed of myself if my mum has to do that for me. ζδΌθ§εΎθͺε·±εΎδΈε -
