"We gave up our bedroom so our kids have their own space - and sleep in the lounge"
A couple gave up their bedroom so their kids could have their own space - and now sleep in their living room. Paige Boakes, 29, and her husband, Ashley, 28, decided to give up their bedroom to give their children - daughters, aged seven and 11, and sons, aged three and seven - their own space. The couple moved into the living room in their two-bedroom house in March 2024 and spent seven months on a king size air bed. Paige and Ashley, a binman, prioritised renovating the two bedrooms for the kids but have now invested in a pull out bed for themselves.
