    Any bad experience with confinement ladies?

    My CL, Caifeng or Feng-jie, was perfect - good cooking, competent with baby, pleasant, young (40+)... BUT she stole stuff from me. My boy's clothings and some other stuff, coz her daughter was expecting a baby too. She betrayed our trust in her which is a great pity coz she was really sooooo...

    Latching on once a day or stopping breastfeeding?

    Hi t00t, thanks for sharing. But i assume you still have a good supply of BM? Mine is really really low and i'm not sure if i even have enough to feed in the first place:( But i guess what they want is just the emotional bond that comes with latching on huh?

    Watches - what are you wearing and what would you like to have?

    I have a white gold Cintree Curvex (white basel, manual winding) with red strap. We bought it many years ago, and i think it was about $10+K then.. can't remember. But the stainless steel Master Square is less than $10K but it's quartz. But really nice. Yes, the GG Mickey Mouse watch is nice!

    Watches - what are you wearing and what would you like to have?

    I guess i'm lucky coz DH is a watch fanatic. The only watch i bought for myself was a Cartier Santos which i got for myself in 1999 coz i felt i worked really hard that year. Then DH bought me a Audemars Piguet, a Franck Muller and a Gerard Genta. But, my most precious watch is a half-gold rolex...

    What type of bags u owned/ like?

    I guess i'm a bag hoarder... have LV, Chanel, Gucci, Ferragamo bags but i am into Prada now. All my bags are huge.. my yardstick is that it must be able to accomodate a file but it is also usually filled with rubbish that i don't need!
