I want this somewhere in my house.

It reminds me of Smacky’s T-Rex.

I want:

  • An interior design consultation.
  • IPL so I never have to shave again to have smooth legs.
  • A week off work to relax.
  • A block of Whittaker’s caramel chocolate (palm oil free!!).

Well I guess only one of those things is an object.

I want takeout and snuggles and stardew valley.

Actually kind of want a working laptop or switch so I can snuggle greyman while we play stardew valley together. #livingthedream

I had to uninstall Stardew Valley on my tablet. I was letting the crops IRL suffer.

I think I know the interior designer that was/is in your mother’s group. She seemed to know her stuff when I dealt with her through work… end enabling

Oh interesting!! Did you work this connection out through FB? Her house is gooooorgeous though also not my style at all. Hmmm. (That’s the member of my MG who I live across the road from, incidentally!)

Also this is peak Perth right now.

An architect designed home extension that is sympathetic to our 1960s ‘weatherboard and terracotta-tiled, hipped-roof cottage house’ but in modern style. I also don’t want to pay much money.
Specifically - the architect who did this house near us:

I could have the wrong person but I knew where the person I am thinking of lived through work (near you) and that she had a baby around the same time as you.

She is super nice.

Definitely peak Perth. I still miss living there a lot.

Ummm I would also like an interior designer. Is she the kind that knows about stuff like moving walls around and rearranging house layouts, rather than just decoration? (Both is fine but the first kind is preferred and yessss you guys are enabling me and didn’t even know it).

I need a bigger sandpit. Duckling and BFF kid don’t have room to move without bumping elbows and getting grumpy at each other.

I also need someone to deliver and put the thing together.

I think so but I only ever talked kitchens with her.

I was intimidated by the engineering requirements for moving walls around in solid brick buildings and managed to avoid it when I was in Perth, but that could be because my training was almost exclusively timber and metal framed buildings.

I don’t think I want that in my house, but I want to visit and spend some time in a house that has that.

Forgot about a second jacket of SirB’s. It fits (for now at least), so we’re rolling with that!

Food. I brought a salad for lunch but it didn’t have much in it and was not fun to eat and then I ran out of time to finish eating it anyway. And now I’m HUNGRY.
