An in-between phase

Nah of course we got the 'mistake' email too @EssexHebridean

Looking forward to that win @Blackcats but don't know who would be that interested in a thread of me going 'got a pizza, some grapes, and a 3.99 bottle of wine' for a year 😁

Bit of a glum day here as we're feeling pretty miserable about the build and how unlikely it is that the council will sign off in time, once we even *can* submit the logistics plan

Usuals
Walk for aldi shop
Got a free review £12 hair conditioner

Walk with Mr PIP for beer and a 'how f*cked are we' summit. We're very f*cked, btw
Feeling cheerier for the walk and beer though!
We only need to find an extra approx £173k in 18 months for a tiny horrible place with Mr PIP working till he's 70, how hard can it be 😂😭😭

Oh and also put in a complaint as HMRC still haven't updated my NI record after their required wait of 39 weeks
Lord knows where my money is

In danger of repeating myself but the council are disgraceful.  

I keep thinking about that cemetery lodge house Grand Designs episode and would like to understand why Kevin didn't even have to mention planning permission and permits etc.  the house was in a cemetery surrounded, unsurprisingly by graves.  They excavated under the ground and the lodge, deep enough for a swimming pool and not a mention of a a council official even appearing on site.  Anyway that's enough hurumphing from Angry of South England, formerly of South West London 😳

Harrumphing for you. It doesn't help I know.

Cheers @Blackcats, please don't stop repeating that sentiment, and @beanielou @redofromstart, it at least makes me feel less alone!

Would it help if you shared their number here and we started bombarding their switchboard with calls about your application …? 🤔

A side thought … have you gone to the local or even national press?

They don't pick up the phone @KajiKita 😂
We've been advised by a friend in estate not to p*ss them off, we'll do that when we genuinely haven't got any hope left of it ever happening

Although it's actually 123k extra we need so that's already 50k taken care of by me putting the wrong figure before, it's easy this money making lark isn't it 😂
