      Robinsons advertised today on its spin mop. It is selling at $42 but does not have the foot peddle to dry the mop. I am looking for those with foot peddle because I think with that, it is more effortless than using hand to push up and down to dry the mop.


      Those who are using spin mop now, can share if what I think is correct?

      I used to have the spin mop. It spoilt within a few months. Can't remember exactly how long it lasted, but pretty short. I won't recommend.

      My spin mop's almost a year old and it's still very hardy. Bought from robinson, it's maroon in colour, quite ex, abt 69 after discount. It can also spin to rinse.

      Didn't get the blue one from Robinson because you have to push handle up and down. Also the mop head is pretty sparse, not enough contact of fabric on the floor.

      24-hr mum,


      I use Tiger brand for oven toaster. I choose it basically it’s a reputable brand. You can get it at $48 from ISETAN when there’s a sale. As to whether to wrap food, you wrap when

      1. there’s going to be splatter when food sizzles.
      2. your food is ‘thick’ and going to take some time to cook but you don’t want the top to become ‘chowtah’


      You can open top when you ready to brown/crisp the food.

    • RE: where to go? if the IP school dismisses student?

      This is terrible. It will be good to know which IP school this is. I guess it must be a Chinese based one since the principal is so upset.

    • RE: Singapore Sports School

      Just came back from SPM. I always enjoy listening to Mrs Tan's talk. It's very inspiring. I've learnt a lot and still learning from SSP how to give my ds space to learn and grow.


      We went to Big M for dinner after SPM, 10pm :yikes: . Ds updated us on all his coming involvement. Gee! There's pretty much on his plate. I'm always worried he doesn't get enough rest. He started working on his project straight after his bath. It's 12+am already and he's still trying out a new software for doing his geography project for some school competition. :slapshead:

    • RE: All About Chocolates

      Only dark chocolate for me, it’s less sweet.


      I find that those of higher cocoa level, say 70-80% tend to feel powdery on the tongue. 60% is quite a good balance.

    • RE: Manuka Honey

      alfretztay:
      I have a bottle of 500g New Zealand Premium Honey ACTIVE MANUKA, UMF 15+, costing S$60. After adding water to it, it turns and smells cheesy. Could anyone explain why?

      Never heard of honey smelling like cheese :yikes: . I use diff. brand of Manuka but it smells really delicious even after 2 years.

      Today's sharing by the alumni members and a chat with Mrs Loo has really give me the assurance that my DD's academic progress will be well taken care of even if she does not excel in her sports.


      DD is beaming with joy and seems to have adapted well. So happy for her.
      😆 I bet you miss her more than she misses you. After 1-2 weeks, she will response to your SMS slower.

      You can get shirts and stationery from boarding office Wed or Fri office hour as well as Sunday night after 8pm when the kid’s check in. Cannot confirm the time but the day is correct.


      You need at least 3 sets PE attire. BE CAREFUL of the red shorts when you wash at home, the color runs! The old stock ok but new ones questionable.
