Sunday at Midvalley

I try to avoid Midvalley at all cost on the weekend. I don’t quite care to waste my precious weekend acting like some sort of hungry vulture circling the basement parking endlessly trying to swoop in on a vacant parking spot when clearly there are NO vacant parking spots to begin with.

My only excuse for going to Midvalley last weekend was that I had this darned Metrojaya voucher to use before it expires this week! I’ve been meaning to buy a handbag and there’s lots of handbags at Metrojaya so it shouldn’t be a problem, right? Wrong.

Turns out we went from the bags section to the ladies’ to the shoes and up to the men’s department, came back down to the bags section, then to the accessories to the ladies’, well, you get the picture and I just couldn’t make myself fall in love with any of the bags there.

It’s got to be love at first sight,  you know, or it’ll never work out. Well, love don’t come easy, like they say. Luckily we’d sent DH and Steev off to read magazines at MPH earlier. If they’d tagged along, it would’ve put even more pressure on us.

Anyways after 2 hours, I finally settled on a black Beverly Hills Polo Club shoulder bag with multiple pockets and “brass knuckles hanging from my neck and my chain” like that song by Good Charlotte.

I’m not really crazy about the design. But under the circumstances, I thought, better close one eye and just grab it since it’s at 80% off, though the sign said 50%.

The girls think the bag is cute. I think it’s ugly. But then I’m notorious for making fashion statements out of my ugly handbags :wink: .

blogging in my car

I’m parked outside Raine’s tuition teacher’s house. My car CD is blaring. There’s a lovely evening breeze blowing and I’m blogging on my laptop.

It’s a one and a half hour wait but it’s quite a long way from my house. Instead of going home now and picking her up later, I figured why waste gas, I might as well stick around and use the time to blog. Seriously.

what’s for lunch this week?

I’ve been cooking up a storm all week. All in an effect to cut cost now that everything’s so expensive. Thankfully my kids didn’t complain. They even said this has been the best week in lunches.

I made chicken pot pie on Monday. The kids loved it so much that they did an encore. So on Tuesday, I was at it again making chicken pie for the second day in a row.

On Wednesday, I made two types of pasta like I usually do. Steev and I prefer spaghetti olio but the girls like spaghetti bolognaise. So I always make both types.

I had some leftover pie filling from Tuesday so that was perfect for another small batch of chicken pies. I also made a tuna pasta for my big eaters.

Today I made pan-fried fish fillet with buttered rice. I’ve never made buttered rice before. It just hit me like a stroke of lightning so I decided to go with it.

What’s on next week’s lunch menu? I don’t know yet :smile: . We’ll see.

how to save on kiddy clothes

We all know how quickly kids tend to outgrow their clothes and their clothes don’t come cheap these days. Here are some ways you can save money and reduce spending on kiddy clothes.

Hand-me-downs from older kids (siblings, cousins, friends) are a good way to save. Some folks throw out clothes their kids can no longer wear. I think that’s a waste. So long as the clothes are still in good condition, they’re still good for wearing around the house.

Buy clothes that are one or two sizes bigger so your child can wear them for a longer time. If you buy the exact size, your child will soon outgrow them.

Take advantage of sales and buy them in a bigger size. T-shirts and shorts don’t go out of fashion and can be kept to be worn later.
