Oh how I would love to be able to have people round to the house. I am living with someone who has filled the whole house up with his stuff and is now at a point where no one can come into the house - even someone to read the electricity meter or do some work on the place for us.

We have children - school age - who are also not allowed to invite any friends - they get really upset, my daughter particularly who has been to friends for sleepovers and we cant have them back. My daughter (12) doesnt want to share a bedroom with my son anymore, so she now shares with me - what was intended to be her bedroom by now is full of SO's stuff.

Feeling particularly rubbish about it all today as I have a bad weekend - SO boot faired this weekend and bought a whole car load of extra 'stock' now added to the mountains in the dining room and blocking my entrance to the kitchen.
