Holy Cow Council, Here We Come :-)

John came home last night to tell me that he spoke to Beechwood Homes. He said that Geoff said that all our stuff has been packaged and sent to council YIPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE. So we now have 8 weeks wait, BUT Geoff said that Yass Valley Council is taking a bit quicker than 8 weeks.

John was saying that with our luck it will take half of this time, then we will have to go and talk to the bank as our $$ are invested :-S. But thats OK...

I can't believe we are off and running after 6 mths of crap :-) it's all good now...
