        So if the maid wants to be funny, she will have to eat whatever it is that she put in as well...


        ha ha...that's what I do also. Die, all die. 😛

        Hahaha. That's what I'm thinking too! :evil:

              somehow my expectations keep falling the longer I have employed maids. probably if this were my first maid, I will be picking bones in the eggs…but since she’s my third, I count my lucky stars if she’s honest and doesn’t give black face. kekekeke

                  In that case, I struck toto top prize, sole winner and also big sweep plus 4D 1st, 2nd & 3rd prize.

                  My maid, honest, no black face, very sensible, std of cleanliness & hygiene at times higher then mine, has initiative, quite a decent handiwoman, cooks well, can sew, budgets for groceries better then me, willing to learn.

                  When we are out, she is forever ready with antiseptic wipes to clean my kids' hands before they reach for their drinks or food. She will wipe down all the forks and spoons and bowls, especially those that the kids will be using.

                  From day one, I did not really have to tell her what to do. She has a lot of freedom but never abused it and even chased a potential burgler away from our house

                  I think she may have caused one major problem though. I have no idea how her successor is ever gonna fill her shoes when she goes back for good.

                      Hmmm… maybe I should start a "what is good about my maid" thread.


                      I think there are a fair number of decent maids around but pple just tend to highlight the bad and rant about it but never really mention the good.
