Therapy Part I

This evening, I had my first session with a therapist. It is a great relief to talk...

I have a couple more sessions booked and we'll see how it goes. Feeling quite positive though...

Project Porch

We've been thinking. Well, what I mean is, I have been thinking... And convinced the husband to let me look into this.

Our front door opens up into the hallway. Straight into the hallway. No space. We have a rack of coats hung off the wall, a heap of shoes shoved under the radiator, and barely space to swing a cat (catchphrase, not something we'd actually do). And I always disliked the position of the red postbox in front of the house. We don't have a letterbox that goes into the house.

So I decided it might be nice to have a porch built on the front of the house. I don't know yet if I mean a proper extension, like an actual indoor room, or just a roof and a wooden-type lean-to. I'll pop some photo's up later if it's nice enough weather tomorrow.

It's a bit of a weak connection, but the lady who did my nails for the wedding... her partner's brother is a joiner for a local builders firm. And their parents are our neighbours. So I've asked her for his details so I can contact him and ask for some advice.

This is exciting though! I envisage a lovely space with shoe/boot storage, somewhere to hang the coats and a door with an actual letterbox and a cage on the back. And potentially, somewhere to park the Bratmobile if we decide to expand the family..... hah! Don't get excited - this belly is definitely just pies.... but we have been talking a bit about the possibility of a mini person in the future...
