      Got more tsp to share...


      I put hand towel at strategic places eg water jug area, near to sink, so that a freshly rinsed glass can be placed on the towel. I also taught my child to place his cup (drink half way, to be continued) on the towel. Like that, I need not go crazy over the wiping!

      When I do dishes like pizza or pan fried egg, I place a sheet of alum foil/baking paper on the plate before putting the food onto the plate. This makes the plate less oiler, so much easier to wash later.

      Did I mention about my hair? I hv long hair and my hair drop like nobody's business. To keep the floor clean, I only comb hair in the toilet. And when washing my hair, I collect the water, sud included, into a pail. I realize this keeps my bathroom floor less grimy for longer. The collected water is used to flush the toilet bowl 😄

          Well. for one, get a couple of extra uniforms for the kids. So no need to \"chase the sun\".
          Also use it as good excuse for shopping for more clothes for self :rahrah:
          ($ no problem mah- cos saving ~$800 p.m. if you go maidless)

              Mine’s Electrolux… Washer dryer… Works well but the washing load bigger than drying load so have to take out part of the washed clothes if a very full load’s been washed. I will take some of the easier to dry ones out to,line dry…As I understand it though, it’s usually the case for all washer dryers… I.e. drying load smaller

                Hi, urs is 7kg like in the link ?

                http://www.electrolux.com.sg/node37.aspx?categoryid=3882

                does it need to hook to any piping? as the only outlet for water was connected to my washing machine, so if this dryer come in, it takes electricity only right?

                    It washes and dries… Got it when my old washing machine broke down. Kitchen too small to take separate dryer but I think if it’s only dryer then, it only needs electrical pt. I don’t see any piping other than that for water…
