I used to use the blue thingy for my old place toilet too, and no leakages for the past 5-6years. But when we were searching for toilet bowls for our new place, we asked various sanitaryware shops about the blue tablet, and almost all, save for those who said they don't know anyting about it, said it will spoil the silicone/rubber circle thingy at the base of the cistern. One of them explained further by saying the chemicals will harden and disintergrate the rubber over time, spoiling it. And that new generation toilet bowls are more susceptible to this problem. So we decided not to use it for our toilets. I'm really not sure if it is true tho.....

i got contact for reliable Lbox contractor, can PM me if you want the number

to arrange for a 2nd meet-up, you have to be very satisfied or curious with the qoute. some ppl arrange for 2nd meet-up to check out the workmanship of the carpentry, tiling, overall reno work. It also depends on how your 1st qoute was obtained, was it via floor plan and visitng the shop/expo booth/etc, or did the ID/contractor come up to your plc for onsite survey and measurements. Basically, when you get differnet qoutes, you can compare item by item and conclude which company really balloon up their profit margins. Alot of ID also recommend custom-making alot of items, which really jack up your bill, and their profits....

maybe can post your floor plan? Are you looking for ideas or contractor contacts?

wow enz, that qoute is really expensive. eg, plastering for whole house, I thought your place was a maisonette.....my 4rm flat plastering was only $1300. try looking around and get other qoutes like what iceblue recommended. Or you can PM me for my contractor's details.

Hi Tiler Seng Can you pls PM me your email address so i can send you my floor plan and works needed to be done? Thanks!!!!

i think its quite normal leh. my old sofa also had the same things poking out. i know for pillows, there are those quilted pillow protectors which creates a barrier between feather and fabric. but I have never seen any for sofas. have you checked back with the shop you bought it from? as for my old sofa, after a few months, less feathers poked out. but there will be the odd ones that find their way thru. I duno if rubbing the sofa will do any good..maybe it can help settle the direction of those odd feathers that are not lying down....

Hi everyone! I'm really curious if there is anyone out there who has successfully snagged a job whilst preggers? I was working for my company for almost 13years but had to resign in April due to pregnancy... So I have been trying to look for a suitable job for the past month... Did not do so earlier coz my first 3 months were totally exhausting and I was busy with the house reno, and now the boredom has set in. wld like to know if there are any tips I can follow, the do's and don't's when going for interviews. I went for one interview, but the moment I mentioned PREGNANT, their faces changed..... So any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks

aiyoo, so many many ppl try for balloting but w/o luck. that's how the go*ve**ment earn extra pocket money...shhhh...taboo.... yo, stormcontrol, pls go ahead and share! Your qoute for Lbox quite reasonable also, altho mine slightly cheaper...hehehe oh, have you found your tub? If you are looking for free-standing i can PM you where to find. The info and pics is somewhere in renotalk also.

congrats congrats on your t-blog!!!!!!!! and i agree with pinkpetter, very sweet story, hehee!

hehe, thanks...I did. Aussino, Friven, Sheriden have them, under super king size. To think I laughed at my hubby's colleague for buying superking size sheets, and now i have to buy them as well. Too bad ikea dun have...

I'm going to buy my Simmons mattress from Shaw Plaza at Balestier, 3rd floor. We went there last Sunday and the salesguy said bed frame is free, which is those on display except for a furry black frame. Most other plcs don't give FOC bed frame, which can cost anything from $199 (Courts) to thousand plus for those with storage. They have Simmons, King koil and Max coil on display. Simmons there are imported from USA, so the King size ones are bigger, 193cmx200cm. My hubby and me tried comparing prices but realised that different shops have different names for mattresses, so its difficult.

sigh!!! I have been stuck at home since April, and I'm almost going crazy with the horrible bor-bor-bor cries of the rag and bone ppl!!! Some have the audacity to ring my doorbell asking for tv-ladio-tian-si-qi.... Will be moving to my new plc soon and it is no different....everyday the karang gunis will visit, worse still on weekends where at least 3 will do their rounds...Many of them blast their horns like there's no tomorrow, or they think that the louder their horn, the more likely we are to give them our newspapers and stuff. I was at my new plc when one guni man was collecting papers from my neighbour. My door was open, and he was shamelessly looking into my house, staring at my hubby and me, as if hoping we would invite him in for a rummage thru our things! My neighbours' door is 3m away from ours...and he was at our doorstep! Are there any forummers out there who are just as irritated by them? Is there anything we can do about the situation? Home is supposed to be a place of peace and tranquility.... not so, thanks to those guni men and women! I am not trying/wanting to break their rice bowl, but there should be a more regulated and first world system of doing things. The fact that their horns and warbles can be heard thru our windows, walls and doors is an intrusion of privacy and definately noise pollution. something must be done...but what? Like-minded forummers....can we make a change?

Hi Hi! It might be a little distracting to the Tv viewer when people come and go, and light from the door(is it the main door?) might be disturbing also. What is the layout of your living room? Maybe you could post your floor plan, i think alot of forummers will be more than happy to help.

Hi! It depends on the size...if yours is standard 1.7m high with 1 fixed panel and 1 swing door, than it should cost about $328-388, depending on the supplier. I've been qouted $500 also, but I went for the cheaper 1. cheers!
