There's no way I'm going to work 42 hours every week, I have a life outside of work.
There's also good news, we are finalizing our design. Our architect has proposed to scrap the toilet on the ground floor, so we can expand our kitchen a lot (an extra 2 meters!). But then we'd only have one toilet, on the first floor. It's a separate room, but even so I'm a bit worried. Any families of 4 here who have only 1 toilet to share?
Coffee is all gone by now, time to get to work. It's going to busy this week, despite what the boss seems to think ...

Sorry to hear about the big boss - one person can make such a difference as to whether work is tolerable/enjoyable. I have left a job for just that reason.
Regarding the toilet situation, as a family of 5, I would absolutely not consider having only one toilet. We have three, and for the last couple of months we were without one of them while we waited for a new suite to be delivered. Even with two toilets there have been many occasions when there has been fighting for the bathroom (mind you, I do have three girls
). I just can't see only one being enough for a family of four. You might get away with it while the kids were very young, but not if this house is a long-term proposition. The extra space in the kitchen does sound attractive though.
