I have a one bedroom house built in the 1970s, unusually for a house so small it has a garage and a driveway (so space for 2 cars off road). Now that electric cars are becoming more popular would this make it a lot more appealing than say, a 2 bed without a garage? It's situated next to the house but not attached.
I paid 172k for it last year, which I'm aware is quite high for a one bed house compared to what you can get in this town - 2 and 3 beds for under 200k. It has a front and back garden too, is in a cul de sac and is a very nice quiet area. 2 bed bungalows in the same estate go for about 300k
Not the best photo as it was moving around a lot, plus my rubbish camera 😅 seen in a wild meadow in a local nature reserve in Shropshire
Have always lived in flats and rented, never had any outside space or garden. Finally bought a place and this is the garden, any advice on ideas of what to do with it? I am primarily interested in making it habitable for wildlife. I have no children or pets. Thank you 🌱
I've come to realise my OCD means I have the exact opposite of procrastination, which means at work I have to do the jobs that come in IMMEDIATELY and as quickly as possible, even though it would be fine to leave them for days and they aren't urgent. I'm the same way about tasks in my home where I can't relax or get the looping thoughts of it needing to be done out of my head until it's done, even though I know rationally it can be left and it won't matter.
At work I have team members who are the polar opposite to me and let stuff just sit there waiting to be done, which causes me a lot of stress to see it all piling up. I have this sense that I'm the one responsible for it all, and that it will go out of control and be all on me to fix if it does, even though this is not true. This means I'm getting daily resentment towards them for not being like me, even though I don't want to be like this haha. It's a constant argument in my head between OCD traits and me arguing back that I'm being unreasonable and wouldn't want anyone to be going through the same.
