(Sorry my space bar is knackered on my laptop!)AnnieB2018 said:Could you give both bedrooms to the kids and you camp out downstairs for a year or 2, then your debt will be lower and mortgage more manageable. How long until your daughter leaves home (I take she is older than your boy), you may be able to make your little house more cosy for now just with some reshuffling.
Thanks for your reply. The thing is we have been doing this for the last 5 years, I have a sofa bed in the lounge and a double bunk with single above in the bigger bedroom for my son but there's nowhere to put clothes in my daughter's room so everything is in the larger bedroom. My DS is 13 and DD 12 next month.
I'm really fed up that we share this tiny space together
I can't put washing out to dry (no garden). I'm also working from home so it would be nice to be in a home I actually like.. I'm 50 this year and can't believe we are still in this position, everything is so much more difficult on a single wage!I have been here since 2007 and the house is coming out the same price as my ex-H and I paid for it back then!!
