1Ambeer, can i know what the part time auntie do each time? how many hours? is it good? how much ? haaa… any contact ? heee… sorry,… i thk i will need this too…

My part-time maid:

1) irons
2) sweeps and mops floor
3) cleans kitchen ( i.e wipes cabinet, cleans stove, washes sink)
4) changes bed sheets
5) washes toilets

That’s really all she does I think… She comes about 3 hours each time. There were only 3 of us and the ironing load was really small and she doesn’t have to iron the pajamas and home clothes… I think I paid 12 per hr but that was 4/5 years ago… I think ironing, washing the loos and the kitchen really helps me cos these chores take a few hours on a Saturday for me!..She doesn’t clean houses anymore so can’t help with contact…

I remembered someone mentioned about dishwasher before…

Anyway have good reviews and recommendations for it? Kitchen is already quite small, thinking if a countertop one is good and capacity big enough.
I cook daily and there is quite a pile of dishes to do after dinner every nite. I am thinking of getting a dishwasher so that i can have more time to coach my kids in their studies.

Me too, I’ve been talking about it since forever but never got on to it. Now that the electrical tariff gone up, I’m hesitating even more but still, thinking of it.

I’ve also been lusting after dishwasher…haha… I saw this tiny one when I went to Japan… By Panasonic. It was not much bigger than a toaster oven… Canonly take4 sets of crockery and cutlery though. Unfortunately, they haven’t got it here…

I am also thinking of dishwasher but the installation is a headache as it need a water outlet point ... Too much trouble to install
