      I used the washing machine with simple function. Don't like to read wordy manuals.

      Me too!

      Went shopping for a washing machine recently. My old & ever lasting 11.5 years old whirpool finally crash & flood my kitchen :yikes:

      Gosh, to my surprise, most models have 10 to 13 types of wash functions. On top of that need to set water temperature, spin speed, plus option for pre-wash function, cease free function & whole lot of other buttons, seeing stars ๐Ÿ˜“

      I told hubby I've learning disablities so I can only handle on/off start/pause buttons :rotflmao:

        Mine is a 8kg top loading...use heavy wash each time. Dump in 1 spoon of Persil, colour bleach (kill germs) and softener. When machine beeps, I hang up laundry.

        Hate to learn new stuff for appliances...now that I'm using iphone, worst ! I've become stupid using other brands of mobile.

            I just started using iphone last week. Hubby switches over to window phone & I don't want to let my kids use iphone to play games so I took over his iphone.

            I didn't bother getting a smart phone earlier since very low usage. Mainly for sms & calling my kids when I'm fetching them. My call time usually less than 30 minutes each month.

            Guess what, I realised I've learning disabilities for smart phone too :faint:

                No worries, it is a matter of getting used to it. After that, you can't do without it cos you can surf the Internet, log in KSP, listen to your favourite music and play some games.

                If you have been using the phone to SMS, you can download this free apps called Whatsapp - it is free SMSing as long as the other party that you SMS to has the same apps. You can even do multiple-chat with more than 1 person.

                Enjoy your adventure ! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    I have 150min outgoing calls but hardly exceed. As for sms, certain months I do exceed 500. Not all my friends have Whatโ€™sapp.


                    Alternate between iphone and Sony Xperia. I like the Xperia bcos of the nice ringtones. There were a few times when I was out and thought my iphone rangโ€ฆonly to realize the others around me were using same ringtone. So I switched to Xperia. It was tough to adjust but wanted to do something different for a change.

                      Blessedwife,


                      You will learn as you go along! When I first became a SAHM, I had one child but no help coz I was overseas for one year with hubby. I knew how to do housework, coz no maid before that, but it was a huge challenge to manage on my own with one child. 6 years later, I find myself overseas again with no help and with three children!!! I was worried about how I would cope since I had a tough time the last time round. But I guess I have learnt a few tricks over the years! It has been much easier than anticipated. Very tiring coz I am on the job all day long with no help at all, but I am managing!! Have become very efficient! Good at delegating to my minions (DS1 and DS2) too!

                        Did you homeschool your kids?


                        I already ๐Ÿ˜“ with 2 kids. Factory closed permanently for 3rd.
                        Sometimes my mom would comment that we should have tried for a 3rd child. I asked her 'would you be helping to babysit?' She :siam:
