That's brilliant. Thanks v much for the tips. I'm on the case !

Hi there, as a Singtel customer, we're getting stuffed with huge IDD costs every month, and we're looking for a recommendation for a new phone co. Any tips, advice would be great. Using Skype when we can but still need IDD. Anyone using 1511 or M1 ?

Hi there, We are just about to move our 8 year old daughter from OFS. Our experience has not been good, but I know there are many parents who are very happy with their children attending. The school is quite simply chaotic, cramped, filthy and under-resourced in terms of staff (no teaching assistant...

Hi all, we have an ongoing battle in our house with those pesky, nasty nits/lice that the kids cannot seem to shake off (excuse the pun). First hit was about 6 weeks ago, and of course, they were passed from one to the other to me etc. Dosed everyone with a product called ALICES - a shampoo you put ...

will let you know if anyone comes back with a recommendation, but no replies yet.

Hi there, We moved into Teneriffe 2 wks ago. Two kids under 7. We are v v v v happy with the decision. House is great, but the best feature for us are the other kids around us.

Hi again. Glad you are getting lots of good input. We arrived about 10 days ago. Living in a nice temp serviced apartment till mid-Sept. Agree that every family will have different needs, and also agree that a transfer maid is an excellent option given the ability to meet the candidates face to face...

Hi Scoobydoo, I posted a similiar note a few weeks back and got no reply. Surprising, given the number of expats who employ help at home. Anyway, after much searching we decided to use a company called SG Manpower on Orchard Rd. Registered with Min of Manpower, and tight on following all the rules a...

Just arrived in SIng last wk and starting the search for a maid. SG Manpower have a good web site, but wondering if any readers have used them, or if you have any alternative recommendations ?

Hi there, I had quite serious scoliosis as a kid, and it required surgeries to straighten the curve. Not alarming you, as I just just too far gone when it was diagnosed at 14. I would say though to be v v wary of chiropractors diagnosing scoliosis in kids. Everyone has a small curve of some sort, an...

Hi, we are moving to Singapore from Ireland in 10 days time, and I'm getting up to speed on the myriad of stories and experiences posters have regarding maids. Very helpful, but I'm wondering if anyone has input on experiences with specific nationalities. We have employed 3 nannies in our home over ...

Hi there, we move to Singapore end July and seeking a great nanny/housekeeper. We've had fantastic live-in nannies for the last 7 years in Europe, so we know the ropes. Kids at school, so primarily seeking a great woman who can fit in with our (normal) family. Cooking/housekeeping key (district 10/1...
