Tric Kearney: With the bathrooms remaining as they are, my focus, or some may say my whining, switched to our bedroom

OUR house reminds me of our children, it has a constant desire to part us from our money. I don’t mind when it‘s nice things like a new couch or television, but who wants to spend money on gutters or broken decking, not to mention a new boiler? Of course, they are all necessary, but they’re not the most glamorous of goods to go shopping for.

What with college fees and boilers, not to mention food and clothes, a few things we’d like to spend our money on have had to wait. Things like a bathroom makeover.
