To maintain my company...

I finally figured out what I need to keep my little company running..

1. A Gardener

Introduced by my partner's friend, I got this amazing taiwanense middle aged man who does my clippings, mowing and weeds control for around 300 per session. This may be money well spent as it does keep the property in tight order. I pride myself in a decently kept garden, it helps maintain the property's value and it is a sight for sore eyes. I do spend a huge amount of time at home, so I like looking at my little english topiary garden !

If it can help lift my mood a tad bit, I considered money well spent.

2. a Dog groomer

Poor dodo may be neglected with the lack of love but to spend 60 per grooming session is quite a good bargain. He is happy and I am happy. But most importantly, I get his fur balls under control, silkly coat, professional cut and he looks like a real crocker spaniel and not some neglected house pet.

Also for the sake of my little ones, so they dun get allergens and nasty stuff from a poorly maintain pet. I totally advocate anyone who wants a pet, with quite a significant amount of fur to have it done professionally. I feel I owed it to dodo. Milly may insist we can do it ourselves but some things are better left to trained professionals.

3. Domestic cleaner

This may be a little bit extravagant and I am doubtful anyone can do a proper Job. I am also worried about exposing our house to strangers? Can they be trusted? Totally?

I run a risk of pesky people who may know My house too well and which doors are easily picked at. Exposing my house to any devious minds that may wanna plot a potential break ins!

One can never be too careful. PS, I found using my baby wipes to clean is quite an efficient way as it;s fast, easy and quite convenient. When you have little lya's hands around, quick and curious, I need to ensure all corners are covered. The tricky ones are toilets, window's still and dusty areas. Dust is a main threat for ezcema sufferer but I am willing to work a tad bit harder. I considered it free cardio for flabby mummy like me, to keep fit and happy.

4. A cook

This is tricky as I am picky about my food and I have been a avid supporter of using pure olive oil to cook all stir-frys since 3 years ago? Like I said, flabby mummy here and I am very picky about the amount of oil, salt, sugar and calories that I consumed. I even convinced milly to cook her meatballs with finely minced spinach so as to add more iron and fibre to both me and lya.

I dun really favor pork mince. Am a little doubtful they use good quality pork or worst, off meats for mince.

But, I am picky so I will forgo both a professional cook and cleaner , choosing to stick to my gardener and dog groomer instead!
