    WASHING MACHINE-which brand is good?

    Hi Peanuts, The dryer will only shrink those clothes that should not be tumble-dried in the first place! Once I accidentally put in a thermal sweatshirt and it shrank to a child's size. Now, I refer to a laundry chart for each piece of clothing I am unsure about, so I know what the washing...

    Shangri-la Hotel

    I think I too shall provide an update on my wedding at the Shang on 28/10/01. We held a tea reception at the Pavilion and the Garden Terrace and it was fabulous!! I'd never tried the food at the Shang before the wedding, and didn't get much to eat on the day itself (I had a tea reception)...

    WASHING MACHINE-which brand is good?

    Hi rolly1, 9kg is just nice for us. We seem to go through a lot of clothes! I usually do about 2-3 loads a week. Hi Julia, My washing machine has the "stick" you were mentioning, and so far our clothes have never been damaged. In fact, the previous washing machine I used was a National...

    WASHING MACHINE-which brand is good?

    I have a Fisher/Paykel top-loading Smartdrive 9kg (I think!) washing machine. It's quiet, fast, reliable and does not tear clothes nor wring them out of shape. Apparently F/P's technology and placement of the detergent holder (in the centre of the drum) as well as the way the drum spins during...

    Shangri-la Hotel

    Hi Relaxed, Didn't book any of those packages. Ours is the tea reception package, which is $58+++/pax. The spread sounds pretty good too, but I've never attended a wedding there before so we'll only find out on the day itself cos there's no food tasting for tea reception. But I heard the...

    Shangri-la Hotel

    Girl, The Pavilion is a regular rectangular room. One part of it is a sitting area with designer chairs and coffee tables, which we will be using for our church service. The inner room is bright and airy, and just nice for our reception of about 130 people. It doesn't really need much...

    Shangri-la Hotel

    Hi Girl and relaxed, I've booked my wedding at the Shangri-La too! It's set for 30/3/2002. But I'm having a tea reception, not a dinner. It'll be held at the Pavilion on a Saturday afternoon. As for rigidity, my wedding planner - Stephanie Chua - has been quite accommodating. She threw in...

    Tasmania Anyone?

    Hi Cleo, I would also suggest bringing along medication if you are prone to coughs and colds. Especially if you have asthma. I had to use my asthma inhaler a lot while in Tassie, as the air is very cold and dry. Medication is also hard to obtain at pharmacies, because they ask you a lot of...

    Raffles Hotel

    Cracker, Thanks I called Sun Sun (wedding planner) today and she said we could pick out the items we wanted from the buffet menus, and she'd get her chef to work something out in terms of cost. So I'm quite happy with that. Now we just have to see how much it all adds up to. I'm not having a...

    For All dog lovers

    Monica, So strict! But there's no way of making sure they will continue to be treated well once they go to their new homes - unless you make spot checks! I think the best way is still to spay the female. My Megan is spayed so I don't have trouble with Pepe getting all horny - he isn't...
