  1. I have a beautiful pink silk bedsheet, but its in cold storage. everything slides off, u get bad backache and neck aches as the pillows keep moving all over the place. disturbed sleep as you rearrange your position/posture/pillows... and if you're like me... snack a little before bed time... you'll regret it. It absorbs oil from ur potato chips, a small potato chip on your silk bedsheet will look like u dropped a big blot of oil and it stays for a long time. Need to send to dry cleaning too..! too much maintenance for bedsheets.. i give up
  2. I use a very old "Princess" steamer bought many years ago. Not very good with handling conventional irons, I was 'toasting' shirts, and leaving black shiny marks on skirts and my dresses were too expensive for me to burn.... thought I'll try a basic model. it's good with light materials like Chiffon, silk, cotton but not fantastic with denim. I used it to steam my hubby's work clothes but not all of the shirts turn out well. The G2000 Black Label type of shirts ( a slightly softer/shiny material) usually 'respond' well. but some of his other tailored shirts could have been better. It takes alot of practise to perfect it, I think it's fuss free and easy to use. there's a brand that has a metal plate at the handle of the steamer, it's pretty heavy if you're steaming alot of clothes together, may not be a good idea. Also, I like to use it to steam my sofa, carpet etc If u're not fussy, Princess is a good basic model. no rusting yet although I use it everyday for 1-2 pieces each time.
  3. I've seen maids do all sorts of stunts just to clean windows, and I'm getting a part-time domestic helper with my place. I don't want to endanger her life, so wondering if you guys have some good tips to share? Any type of device that can help? I had a magnetic cleaner for my fish tank when I was younger, you run this little magnetic plate outside the tank, and inside there's a cleaner that sticks on. Is there someting similar for windows?

  6. ordered a sofa & day bed for my parent's place. Delivered a Blue sofa with brown day bed.... we told the delivery guy we ordered both in black, but they insisted it was the correct colour.. anyway.. it's been rectified after 3 wks of making noise..
  7. Hi Guys, I have a contact who wants to sell me a Roomba 560 ( brand new) for $700. saw at Irobot website : $349 USD X 1.38 = $481 SGD ( Assume credit card charges 1.38) Vpost shipping = $150 ( based on my friend's own import cost the last time) total cost : $631 do you think I should just let him earn the $70 for all the hassle? I actually tried to order fr Irobot direct but they only accepted US credit cards, vpost conceirge & others charge abt 5% of purchase price. any comments on this? I'm not an ebay fan & no paypal.
  8. just to share, i brought my dog to my new place. and he pee-ed at some corner. We didn't realise until the next day we came. After cleaning off the pee, there was a major yellow patch on our marble flooring... unfortunately.. not able to remove.
  9. okie thanks! will try out Sia huat.
  10. wait till it's ur turn... u see if u'll get from fairprice ( if they carry any in the first place!) haha... a friend of mine bought some wonder plate from Tangs if I'm not wrong... apparently it's ultra light weight, but crack resistant or something like that.. of course I wouldn't dare try ... but it sure looks expensive! yup.. it's probably those 'tai-tai' plates... plate 10 times more expensive than the food on it... how to eat????
  11. anyone can help? looking for nice plates/bowls at reasonable prices. Anything besides Ikea?
  12. altho i'm having alot of problems with my ID for the handover of my hse, we didn't hav much problems with extra costs. He added in our contract the items which were 'Optional" then it was up to us if we wanted to do it. Most of the other extra costs were becos we wanted to change location of basin, add shower screen etc ... so for that, I'm quite thankful. but then again, I've yet to get my hse ready to move in... lights I sourced myself, recommended to Citi Lights. quite nice Bathroom accessories also sourced from afew places. guess it's true that IDs do affect the pricing, so it's really up to us to see if we can reduce some costs by taking charge of the things ourselves.
  13. Can someone help me? Trying to order from Irobot USA website. however it keeps prompting me that my billing address is incorrectly completed. They needed the billing address to be the same as your credit card address & once we key in our singapore postal code with no city/state, the transaction cannot go through. how did you guys manage this? PM me pls
  14. looking for a nice dresser for my walk in wardrobe. have been really unsuccessful... anyone saw anything interesting?
