can your storage room withstand the typhoon? I saw a storage room roof flew away during last typhoon (i live in village house now).
I also dont like having an extra person at home, but my helper is quite good at giving us space. She normally wont be around where i m.. e.g. when i m in living room, she will be in kitchen, or go in to my room to tidy up the stuff.
But if i m in kitchen and she needs to work, she will stay there.
The only problem we have now is that we only have 1 toilet to share, and at first when she came, the first few mornings was a little hard cos my husband and i both have to use the toilet quick so we can go to work .. and she didn't think about that so she was using the toilet to start the washing machine for washing clothes at the same time. after we talked to her and told her not to use the toilet from we wake up till we go for work .. she has done it and now we have no problem.
But i agree that there is not much space for ourselves la! like my husband can't walk around in his underwear like he used to ...
anyway, we are moving to somewhere soon that has a master bed room with toilet.. so to solve the toilet problem...
