    I hate that the laundry and kitchen are bedside each other, but separate. To move from one to the other you either have to go outside or through the living and down the hall. Makes going outside hard as my shoes will often be at the other door, also a lot more crud gets walked through the house due to it. There is not enough paving outside the laundry, plus it is a shady area so grass does not grow. It just becomes a mud pit.

    Annoyed that only the back toilet in the 3rd bedroom is on bore water, the one in the bathroom is on tank, so we try not to use it but it is the most convenient toilet.

    I loathe the computer corner, it is just piled up crap upon crap. DH will not keep it tidy, he is excuse is that I create the piles and it is already neat He needs a set of drawers.

    We need a proper dog run. We have to keep the dog in the paved area off the kitchen over night and when we go out. It reeks of dog poo and limits going in and out of that area to the shed. At the moment we can't have people over for BBQ's etc and it is so embarrassing if someone comes to the back door and we have not yet done the poo clean up. Also it limits the kids going out into a covered area to play.

    Do not get conned into buying a big house, unless DH will help out. I'm lucky enough that he does, but when i do a BIG clean, it takes me ALL day.

    I am soooo over it.

    It's an old house so it has absolutely NO storage - no wardrobes, no cupboards, no linen press! Plus DP loves to collect junk (seems to be a male thing) and has no idea how to tidy or organise so I end up throwing his junk out when he isn't home

    I'm going to get one of those ladder things to get some attic storage as we have enough space for another couple of rooms in our roof.
