We've only got three bedrooms here, and although the small one has bunk beds in it it's really Ann's sewing room. My cellar fortunately is large, dry and carpeted. We can, and have on occasion, put up four single beds in it, and to my astonishment the grandchildren fight to sleep in my cellar. When I asked why it was so popular they explained patiently that it was because my cellar is 'SPOOKY'!!!<br /><br />Strange creatures, some of my grandchildren.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-20476681524933176062011-10-23T08:03:37.856+01:002011-10-23T08:03:37.856+01:00I'm happy to move!

Weeza and Phil would love to move, but they got their mortgage with her salary, so would have to renegotiate and they are paying so little now, it'd be a huge increase - and an extra bedroom and bigger house would cost £100,000 more than the one they have. That's why they don't move (they built on a room-size conservatory instead because they have a good-size garden), not because there aren't houses available.<br /><br />Anyway, they can't make us move! And you are invited to the party, all of you, of course. Which will be sometime next summer, I think.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-1135867406863787302011-10-22T22:30:50.537+01:002011-10-22T22:30:50.537+01:00Are people with more bedrooms than people supposed...Are people with more bedrooms than people supposed to sell them for knock-down prices to those who have chosen to over-breed beyond their means?<br /><br />We won't be, for sure.<br /><br />Yet another stupid media story.Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-30137042040698488082011-10-22T20:09:00.189+01:002011-10-22T20:09:00.189+01:00Yes, I could downsize, but that would just mean th...Yes, I could downsize, but that would just mean the same number of rooms but smaller ones.

Who gets to say how many bedrooms people are entitled to? Bloody do-gooders.<br /><br />Sir Bruin and I keep a spare double bedroom (with the bed always made up ready) because we have family scattered all over the place and occassionally they like to come and stay. We didn't intend to buy a 3 bedroomed house, 2 would have been enough, but we couldn't find a 2 bed place with a garage, hence we ended up with 3, good sized bedrooms, one of which is the office/toy room that houses Sir B's model railway and the computer that I am typing on now. This is a great improvement on keeping the PC in the dining room, which I had to do at our old house (not that we even have a dining room at this house, although that issue will shortly be solved by means of a conservatory).Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-52266388714558766872011-10-22T17:12:56.243+01:002011-10-22T17:12:56.243+01:00Sounds like you're going to have fun with it, ...Sounds like you're going to have fun with it, which certainly is the main thing. <br /><br />There are technically 3 of us in this house, but the Cat and I tend to sleep together...and I need the little bedroom as my study.<br /><br />When Boy moves out, it'll be the spare bedroom, for hiding stuff in until someone threatens to visit.
