I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but late Friday afternoon we got a telephone call from the architect to say he now had all three of the builders quotes and could he bring them round because he likes his clients to open them.

The traffic was terrible but he eventually arrived, it was gone five by this time. Down we sat, and brandishing my letter opener I set to on the envelopes! One was in a rather classy envelope so I left that until last. When I did open it (matching classy paper, I might add!) not only was it the cheapest but from the builder we’d wanted to have!

So there are just a couple more hoops to jump through and all being well building work will commence in March 2007! Something at times I never thought I’d say. I just hope nothing goes wrong because we really are on the home straight now. Fingers crossed 🙂

I’ve also got a reassessment for my manual wheelchair at last (only been waiting, what, two years?) on Tuesday.

Vale has been to Cannington with us for the last two weeks, last week she got bathed and the week before that we did agility. The buzz is incredible, I really wish I could do agility with her but she shouldn’t be jumping really because of her leg, though she’s fine for a bit now and then if she does too much she goes lame. Plus she has a great aversion to tunnels….even FOOD won’t get her through and she’s one of the most food orientated dogs ever 😉 She won’t come with us again for a while now, possibly next summer for washing again, if not probably next autumn.

I don’t think much else has been happening really. I haven’t been feeling quite right since I was doing all that clearing in my room, my stamina is definitely reduced. I think it’s probably stress, hopefully it’ll settle down again when my life settles down! If it ever does… 😕

No premium bond million this month though!
