How to watch Formula One when your kid wants to watch Barney

Posted on May 1, 2009May 1, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

If there is one indulgence that the Hubs MUST have, it's his fortnightly viewing of the Formula One. Before I met him, I didn't even know what Formula One was. Now I know a little, but since Michael Schumacher retired, I've lost interest. Jensen Button is cute though........click to learn what next.

Bidding farewell to 3P

I finally did it this morning. Spent a few hours removing links from every single 3P post that I've ever done and removing their codes too. It is a sad affair as they were good to me for many months. However, of late, they have been pretty rubbish.......click to learn what next.

Bad eating habits

Posted on April 29, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Tee, like myself, loves food. But lately, she has been addicted to desserts and sweet things. Almost after every meal, she'd ask what her dessert of the day was. We visited the dentist yet again. By now, I've spent just under RM1000 on dental bills within this last.......click to learn what next.
