Sex File: Our house renovation is ruining our sex life 

"DIY renovation is great fun in the summer but as we head into winter the best advice I can give you is to finish one room - your bedroom - as completely as you can and make it warm."

If you can create sanctuary in the midst of chaos, it is easier to cope with a project that feels like it will never be finished.

My girlfriend and I are in our early thirties and are busy renovating our first house, which, on top of our jobs, doesn't leave much energy for anything else. 

We don't have the time or money for date nights at the moment so how can we keep our sex life on the boil?
