it is really necessary to do that. we can never risk the possibility of having fires at home. besides, if it is said that it can effect damage to our electrical wires, that will also amount to something.

until now i am doing my dishwashing and laundry by hand. since we are a small household, i believe that i will never see the need for a dishwasher, thanks goodness. it is the laundry which has become a burden for me. my kids are the ones who are now doing the laundry and we can bring the heavy ones to the cleaners.

it is good though that there is no mention of washing machines here. i am now considering buying one as there is a possiblity that my eldest and second child will be away someplace permanently for work. at my age, doing much laundry will surely be difficult. this is despite the fact that there will only be two of us left at home, my youngest boy and i.
