      :rotflmao: so used to just seeing you in the piano thread such that I forgot you actually could be anywhere.

      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:
      Be an expensive maid. Why not? Give all your attention to your son. I have seen how other maids took care of the children. I don't trust them. Like I said... Not many good hearts around. You son is fortunate to have a parent like you.

        Nah... It's the other way round - I am fortunate to have a child like my son. He is not perfect but still, he must be one of the best things that happened to me, other than having a good mother and a good husband.

              This morn, I played the songs bookmarked on Youtube as my companion while ironing. Suddenly those clothes didn't seem that many after all :imcool: Cleared the cupboards...wash some new clothes for CNY and clear some tees which are quite worn.

                    Thanks a lot Janet.. How much does it cost? I am thinking to get one...
                    Sorry. I missed your post.
                    Can't remember.
                    Hubby uses it to make french toast. The other kitchen appliance is his Air-fryer...but cut down recently bcos weather is hot and we had sore throat.

                        If I change curtains tomorrow, then maybe vacuum again.
