My friend used to nanny for a family in parnell somewhere.
They had 3 boys, and a 7 bedroom house, but it wasnt big enough

, so they are building one with 8 bedrooms, apparently the mother needs a house with four spare rooms, for her sister that comes and stays once a year.
Seems to me some people have more money than sense.
Im living with my parents in a four bedroom which is fine(ish) but i want to get out on my own so DP and i (plus his current flatmate) will get a 3 bedroom, will be easier with the rent divided 3ways, and 3 bedrooms the rooms and garden tend to be bigger
