So that's one headache solved. I just do our laundry and some house keeping. Even that I see dust everywhere and things are a clutter for lack of proper storage space. gtg. Kids fighting... <strong>Lots of storage space helps. Just stash everything away and out of sight.

I hate cleaning the toilets too but what to do, I hate dirty toilets more *blek*. And I'm always 'ngi ngi ngo ngoing' to Pappy why there's so much dust in the house eventhough I wipe, sweep and mop every day ... sigh ... sigh ... sigh ... I only realised I have SOOOOOO much to do after being a SAHM and WITHOUT a maid! (Pappy refused to get a part time maid for me) *duh* And I've only 1 small kid and a teeny weeny apartment to take care of. I really salute to mummies with 2 or 3 kids. <strong>I used to live a teeny weeny apartment. Now I have upstairs and downstairs. Horror of horrors. (In terms of housework la although the kids love the extra space to run about) How I miss my teeny weeny apartment.

Luckily for me, there is a laundry downstairs (they also do delivery and pickups if need be) and most restaurants offer free home delivery. Actually housework is not too bad. I can make myself a glass of Ribena and look at it the whole day.. :D <strong>I use to have the laundry downstairs. I miss that. Housework is not important. Family is. So I'd rather spend time with the family then spend time doing housework. With that kind of priority I like your suggestion of looking at a glass of Ribena all day.

In the mean time why not get a part time helper? I hate cleaning the toilet but ironing can be quite enjoyable. Put the ironing board in front of the TV, make a glass of ribena and enjoy. <strong>If I turn on the TV for ironing, I'm afraid I'll burn the clothes. Hahaha. When I iron, I will turn on the aircond and switch on the music. Hubby says I'm the most expensive maid. Lol!</strong> Aren’t u getting a maid? In the mean time why not get a part time helper?
