hey, i was in your situation (actually i had started a lot of work on my website before i started panicking about it) i actually made friends with the company lawyer and asked her informally about it first. i suggest you can try first. if the work contract. then it's not unreasonable to ask for a letter from the company saying its ok... as long as you're doing a good job at work i guess it's fine (people may even see you as with a lot of initiative to be starting your own idea outside of work) good luck...
