day without my domestic helper

i have a live-in domestic helper. she has just returned to her hometown.
life without her is tiring.
i gotta start from scratch again... doing all the household chores by myself.
although saying that, i think i'll save a large sum of money without her around.

since our forefather n mums can survive without one, i dun see why not me!

but being a lazy gal as i am, i do hope that my mother-in-law can give me a break ;)
with so many ppl in the household, i think we can manage well...
but gd bye to my lazy days... i'll miss that!!

i thought that i'll skip my puzzle pirates for a day.
but... i still got an hour b4 my bedtime!
so why not! hehehehe
