KrystieLove - the extension is for more room. We bought this house about 10 years ago and swore we would never move (we've moved a lot with renting houses). It at the moment has two bedrooms, which my boys have shared one of since we moved in. A 16yo and an 11yo are really not meant to live together for that long, I also do day care at home so any little one that sleeps also uses my boys room, which can be pretty squashy but I can get 4 little beds on the floor and I have a permanent cot also in the boys room all the time, so with the extension we can turn the current kitchen into a bedroom and then spread our boys and the little kids out. I'm almost over it. I'm so sick and tired of looking at all my stuff sitting around the house, my front verandah is covered with furniture, I spent hours yesterday at my parents house doing all my washing and cooked a roast whilst I was there as we also have no stove at the moment. I know it's worth it in the end, but OMG it's painful. ONE MORE WEEK and it's finished YAY

Toccara - Welcome to this thread, so sorry about your loss but am happy that you found us, it really helps to "talk" to somebody about your loss and I found that most of the family just don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge that your baby is still an important member of your family. This is a great place to vent, cry, yell, whatever. We're all here to help each other.
