    Not just broom closets that lack space. Both of my pans are cast iron which cant go in the dish washer. So what, am I going to get like 40 plates and sets of cutlery because that is all I would use that can go in there? Going by the floor plan of my house when I bought it the kitchen is about 5m², where is all of this stuff going to live now that I also lose most of the cupboard space for the dish washer? Already got a washing machine using up a lot of space. Bungalow, about 60m² for the entire place.

    Would the order of things when its serial matter? Since moving our shower is the first thing to get hot water and the kitchen comes after, not really noticed it as too much of an issue although the kitchen tap will be slower when water is being used somewhere else. Which is probably the better way of prioritising it.

    Oddly we found it happened most when we used an electric shower. Which heats its own water because only uses cold water. How the fuck that was the most effected I have no idea.

    Moved across town and now got a heat pump that does our heating and hot water, it doesn’t really seem to care that much.













  • How much more do kids cost than an adult? Could easily afford to feed an extra adult or two around the house. How much more is a child?

    Mortgage wouldn’t change. Electricity usage surely wouldn’t change too much as you are still heating the same house to the same temperature. Little more hot water for showers I guess. Food costs us £20 or so a week for 2 adults, so even doubling to 4 people that would be £40, probably less by benefiting more from bulk buying/cooking.

    Do agree clothing might suck, school uniforms are extortionate in the UK. Apparently the average is a few hundred, that is more than all of my clothes combined.
