Our kitchen is only a bit over 400 square feet so 50% less than chewies.

Never had any sort of suggestive PM but then I haven't sent very many either...

If you are moving anywhere near here (which I don't think is likely as I think we are more like 300 miles than 200) then you are welcome to put your car or stuff in the garage for a night.

Apparently it is going to be winter again next week - I really envy all the NP who can spend the days lie today outside, I often feel like staying on the train to Brighton and spending the day at the beach when it is sunny rather than getting off and on to the tube and work

Oh no? Really? I have seedlings up!! Poopypants.

That doesn't mean it wasn't turners AND something else. THat was the thing that made my diagnosis unclear. My most obvios symptoms were not all related to the primaryproblem, but rather were symptomatic of other problems we either did not know about or hadn't been a problem til. The more major problem had put body under strss. Sometimes it really is as simple as if the weel gets broke, the axel might bend in the process, or screws and fixings else where, but the primary problem was the simple broken wheel....

Oh absolutely. That's why I said "not standard Turner's" rather than "not Turner's". Poor her. Poor family.

No, chewie's entire home is 600 square feet, not his kitchen.

And my last entire home was 250 and this entire home is about 380.

And I won't mention that maths.

I do not know the floor space of my house. I feel deficient having spent so much time on here and not kowing a simple value indicator like that.

No, I won't be anywhere near you. I'll be ambling along the south coast to a place not as far as the IoW.

Notmuch goes on between mine, but i resevre the right o be the only persopn who dares say it. We cannot really know what she could think and feel, only make guesses even with that amount f damage.

Broken brains are hard to deal with. I didn't watch the programme, but one of my rels is very ill in hospital at the mo with brain problems. It strikes me as the part of the body that science knows least about yet it is the most vitally important. She is finding it very hard to get answers. To be in a situation where you can't articulate how your brain is broken must be terribly hard. I wish I could post more here but for privacy I can't but I hope she gets better soon.

Lir, it is absolutely your right to articulate how you feel about the situation but not for others to judge you on it.

I just sat here and thought, "well this sofa's about X' wide and then there's a door width and so it must be about Y wide".... and did the same for the length. Sitting here I can see everything, so it's not rocket science to then multiply two numbers together. It's a straight forward rectangle of space so easy to do.

Most of my rooms are regular shapes. But not all...then i would have to add rooms together. It would involve pape and pencil.

i could if i wete giung ti get a pencil, go and get the floor plans.....

lostinrates

Atually, have a partial floorplan to hand....kitchen...excluding utility etc Is 4300 by 8120. Presumably its mm. So thats lots of square mms.:)

Main utility/ scullery is 4496.4 (point four of a mm can,t be worth measuring) by2127.5

I am so sorry to read that viva. Its importnat and breaks in lots of ways, but it is also incredibly resiliant and can be pretty good at finding ways round things. I wish your relative well.
