      I 收工 for the day. My trophies today - hall windows and grills, masterbed room windows, gate, 5 wooden doors, 3 glass doors, 3 Aircons, shoe cabinet, 3 fans, laundered the cushion covers, 2 toilets and vacuum the floor. Did I miss anything?


      Surprising, I feel ok. Had a shower, put on a mask and taking a rest now. Going to cook dinner soon!

      Tomorrow itinerary - kitchen cabinet, scrub kitchen floor, study window, son’s bedroom window.

      If got time, I want to paint the bedroom window ledge…

          You made me embarrassed...you did so much work? :oops:

          Having kids around when doing housework is fantastic idea...during hols, I vacuumed floor and they both helped out after fighting who vacuums first :roll: Nights when I hang up wet laundry on bamboo, daughter will help me sort out clothes and shorts...putting tees on hangers.

                  I knew you would say that! No lah. I sacked my maid last Nov. and we are doing it all by ourselves. Happened to see this thread. So much happier without maid. Nowadays, maids are not as hardworking as in the past. Very difficult to deal with. They live a better life than their owner. :spank:

                    the korean pan i bought from metro is called st james hancook.
                    it is indicated ‘made in korea’. this pan is good for frying fish as oil doesn’t splatter. if i wish to turn over, i bring it to the sink.[/quote]

                    Thanks a lot Janet… How much does it cost? I am thinking to get one…

                      Yup, I kind of agree. I was telling a friend the other day - how nice it would be if I can take long walks with my son everyday, cook for him all the meals, have all the time to do house chores with him and at his pace.... My friend just cut me off and say, \"be a maid la!\" :scratchhead: :rant:
