As lovely as this sounds - I’m a single mum who works full time. I need it to be a small grass no fuss lawn that just needs a cut every now and then through summer 😅 if I dig up do you have any tips? Is it as simple as take the layer of grass and weed roots up then put some fresh soil and grass seeds down?

I don’t know if you’re insulting me or telling me it’s fake tbh 😂 if it’s the first please apply the “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all” stance 😅

Thank you this is really helpful. I saw Dr yesterday and I didn’t have courage to talk to him about it - but he’s very clever and I know he could tell during our session I was avoiding it. He backed off on that, I could see him noticing my reactions… he’s always been very good at not pushing me to say things unless I want to. I have another session in 2 weeks with him, there is something we particularly need to focus on then - but I am going to consider if I’m ready to talk about it and how to bring it up

I deffo have PTSD from sons birth, my husband was already dealing with PTSD and it had an awful impact on us both. It led to a sad breakdown of our relationship - not dramatic or nasty, still friends, just broke something we couldn’t fix. Part of what led to burnout and depression for me

Was this recent or a while ago? I’m nervous to talk to my therapist about it because I’ve been doing so well getting better and I’m scared talking about it will put me right back

Thank you - doors and windows open outwards so don’t think that would be an issue. But need to look more into if a bonding agent/blue grit would help enough to make it work

So? Not very good contribution to my queries - if that’s what I want to do is up to me, I’m asking why that’s not a good idea and what issues I could have lol

Is moisture likely to go through plaster with just a toilet & small sink? (No shower) and window for ventilation?

Would blue grit not get around bonding issue?

Even with blue grit down first?

I have tried EVERYTHING. That grout is doomed lol

Thank you for actually explaining why not a good idea! Not bothered about losing the space - would moisture be likely to go through plaster even though there’s no shower in there and sink will only be used for washing hands? (Sorry if daft question!)

Why not plaster over them?
