DEAR HOMEMAKER

 *DEAR HOMEMAKER,*

As the situation is getting thougher, pls improve your home management techniques. I'm not talking to the 'haves', biko if u are rich keep scrolling, no need to read this post.

TIPS

1. Please Avoid surfing the Internet or SM while in the kitchen, this isn't the time for a badly cooked/burnt food. There are many resources involved. 

2. As d price of gas isn't smiling, try to cook harder foods with charcoal, it will go a long way. 

3. Better still, you can alternate your cookings with gas and coal, it cooks really fast if u master the art. Also, use hotplate or electric cooker if u have frequent electric supply. 

4. If ur husband ask you to move from a 3/2 bedroom to a 1bedroom flat, my dear pls comply. Having a roof over ur head is more important than the space. 

5. Revise your meal timetable to fit the type of food u can afford at the moment. 

6. Spend less on wardrobe. U see those shoes and bags from Turkey, Dubai or Malaysia, its not the time to buy them. Yes, I know they are very beautiful and tempting as well but pls, hold on! 

7. Don't go out excessively, limit your outings. It saves fuel and of course money. 

8. Reduce long phone calls and long SM engagements, save credit, save data - save money. 

9. Train ur kids to adopt to the situation, with discipline and love. 

10. Ignore the above if your husband spends his money on side-chicks, show him d art of extravagance instead. But don't forget to be wise!

Yours truly,
