About dsd in my bed?

[hotstepper4]

I have a small, 2 bed mid terrace Victorian house. One large bedroom, one tiny.

I have a ds7, and a dsd10, dss8 and dss5. At the moment we have all the boys in the big bedroom - dss's share a bunk bed and ds has a single bed of his own. He used to share a bunk bed with dsd, but when she turned 9 we decided that as the only girl she needed her space, and we bought another bunk bed for mine and dh's room, the small one - a triple bunk, the bottom is a double which me and dh sleep in, and the top single was for dsd. When she stays (eow and Tuesdays) me and dh sleep on the sofa bed downstairs.

However, my room is now very much dsds room. Her posters are up, her rug down, her furniture. Recently she decided she doesn't want to sleep on her single bunk anymore, and now sleeps in my bed when she stays. Now she's older, she spends a lot of time lounging up there with her tablet. I feel like no where is mine anymore. Plus, my house looks like a dormitory!

Aibu to want her to at least stay in her own bed? I'm not a wicked sm, far from it I adore my dsc but the children have taken over this whole house!

I’d also love to know where you get boxes for free (I tried but they all seem to go back to be recycled now, I did get the veg boxes but they were shit) and what you use instead of bubble wrap for delicate stuff

We can still get boxes for free from the local supermarket. I also put a request on the local Facebook page and got some through there. Ditto for old newspapers for wrapping.
We’ve always managed to start our new tenancy on the day the previous one finished so rent paid as we collect the keys, on the normal day rent would be paid.

@AnEPleaseBob How do you get away with not having to put down a deposit?

@19lottie82 Your old deposit certainly does not cover the new one.

You don’t get your deposit back until a couple of weeks after you’ve moved out. You need to put down the deposit before you move in.

Honestly I think some people on here would say night is day; they’re being contrary for the sake of it.

Rule my point is you get it back....... so it’s not a “cost”, and your new deposit is covered by the old one. I didn’t say immediately.

The fact is that moving requires a great upfront cost to be found. Often in the many thousands. That's not easy for many people.
