Derek, we had a loft conversion in this house, new central heating installed etc. when we first moved in.Delboy wrote:Thank god we have not got the room for them to move in with us, when our daughter had a loft conversion, she had to live round it whilst the work was being done, the same as we did when had a new kitchen and central heating fitted just after we first moved in.
Our son is now talking of changing his dining room to his kitchen and the kitchen to the dining room, which involves the removing of walls and replacing doors and windows, plus all new cabinets, thankfully he knows there is no room in the Inn here.
I know people who moved into a smaller place the moment their offspring left home.Delboy wrote:Thank god we have not got the room for them to move in with us, when our daughter had a loft conversion, she had to live round it whilst the work was being done, the same as we did when had a new kitchen and central heating fitted just after we first moved in.

We thought about it, but then wouldn't have space when all the grandchildren come to stay!!!Quizzical Bob wrote:I know people who moved into a smaller place the moment their offspring left home.Delboy wrote:Thank god we have not got the room for them to move in with us, when our daughter had a loft conversion, she had to live round it whilst the work was being done, the same as we did when had a new kitchen and central heating fitted just after we first moved in.

Congratulations, Sue. We have 7 grandchildren, our son has 4 and lives nearby but our daughter has 3 and we need the beds for when she comes to stay. She's in the process of moving back near to us so Hotel Grandma will soon have vacancies.suespud wrote:We thought about it, but then wouldn't have space when all the grandchildren come to stay!!!Quizzical Bob wrote:I know people who moved into a smaller place the moment their offspring left home.Delboy wrote:Thank god we have not got the room for them to move in with us, when our daughter had a loft conversion, she had to live round it whilst the work was being done, the same as we did when had a new kitchen and central heating fitted just after we first moved in.

In fact we are waiting for bunk beds to be delivered as we don't have enough beds for them all!!
Talked this morning, about a much bigger sandpit for them and should we get a two storey playhouse to replace the single storey one we have...lolol
Ohhh and should some of it be painted pink as we have a granddaughter now...
to do whilst we were away on holiday.

Our daughter on the other hand has 3 children, all born whilst we have been living in this Bungalow, but not here, the eldest being 14 years old.
I asked Lorraine tonight if our grandchildren have ever stayed with us over night, and she could not think of any occasion where they had. Lorraine has often baby sat our grandchildren over the years, and still does, as our daughters home is only 10 minutes walk away, she goes round there to baby sit, that way the children sleep in their own beds and any mess they make is in their own home.
The same with our sons two dogs, if our son and DIL go away for a weekend etc, then Lorraine will go round their home and stay there over night.
One of the advantages of living in a bungalow
The last lot of work we had done at our Bungalow, fitting a new bathroom, we got our son (he is a builder)
Our son moved out when he got married before we had this bungalow, when his marriage broke down, after we had moved here, he moved back in. Thankfully he has married again and got his own house.
Ohhhh I do love being with them. Special indeed. XxxAndrea S wrote:Hotel Grandma and being like a 'Walton' nana sums it up beautifully.
Tiring but so rewarding. The fact they are your Grandchildren means it is premium time you get to spend with them. The fun you have with them will stay in their minds as they get older. (especially camping Sue.)
They will keep you young at heart for years to come. So special.
