    she does comment I'm big when we are alone in the bedroom

    I have an office in one of the other bedrooms, my junk goes there or the shed.


    Plans for the new place is a Man shack Office & workshop in the garden.

    I mean how many clothes and shoes do you have?! I can easily get all my clothes into one chest of drawers, with a couple of suits and a few shirts and trousers hanging up on a rack.

    But that makes a built-in wardrobe even less necessary - I mean how many clothes and clobber will guests bring when they stay?

    the temporary bedroom will become a guest bedroom when we extend.

You'd make a lot of space that way, and with extra 2 feet of width you'd have 5 feet to play with which would be adequate for a loo, sink, and shower (or instead of the shower a smallish tub with shower attachment).
    we will be putting built in wardrobes against one wall.

    Spend the money on pimping up the main bathroom instead.
    We have 3 daughters, the main bathroom means crossing the landing and the temporary bedroom will become a guest bedroom when we extend.

    But take your point, we need to make it comfortable otherwise it will just annoy.

    So your clothes are locked in with you when you're showering/dumping? That displeases me somehow.

    I saw an en suite just as you describe (minus wardrobe) on a Beanie programme and I thought it looked ace.

    probably will do but sometimes the guys on here say oh yes we had a similar problem and we did X which is completely out of the box.

    its a compliment on the diversity of expertise available on here and there predominantly positive and go getting culture.

    We have already had a toilet & sink combined which I hadn't realised was commercially available.
