With houses in the UK being quite small, once a mother has got used

Jean, it happens here, too. Alas, I'd just begun to edge my way into
Elissa's room (a bookcase; taking over the drawers in the big
dresser; my lace-pillow stand....when my husband's snoring got to be
too much and HE moved into the room. I haven't found another place
for those items, but they are definitely there on sufferance...
One fellow, Bill Davis, in our lace guild has a published (but I
don't know where) talk on "The Room" ... we ALL have it. Some of the
tales he told on other people in the room the year he gave it as a
speech were just dying of laughter along with the rest of us - like
the lady who had raised several children in a house smaller than her
current craft room (which might have been an addition onto the
original house - too bad, it's been about 15 years since I heard the
talk, and I don't remember the details).
