My loan has FINALLY been approved. The documentation is at a lawyer’s in town - shall go and peruse it tomorrow morning! The subsidy wasn’t taken into account, but that can be remedied. All in all, I’ll pay less for my flat per month than I do for my Internet account.

The developer wants access to my deposit money. I have good legal advice NOT to allow it, so am stalling as much as I possibly can. At one point, though, I’ll have to make a decision, and need as many safeguards in place as I can put there! It’s a catch-22 situation: I need the place built so that I can move in! And he needs the money to build the place!

Let’s all pray that the first scheme (or phase) gets released this week, and he can continue without needing my cash!

In the meantime, I simply forward all his text messages to my lawyer (they ARE useful, sometimes!) and let the two guys sort matters out. I don’t want to become entangled.

I’ve been sanding that day bed this weekend. Not a heavy sand, although it does have some tricky spots. The previous varnish/sealer is a thin brittle coat that I could remove with my fingernails, if I really, really wanted to! I’ll apply some penetrating furniture wax this afternoon.

Woodwork is relaxing, especially sanding. Once you get into the rhythm, your mind can wander off…

But then I seriously enjoy craft work…

Let’s see what this week brings…

I look at my bank balance, and I smile… and then I look at my “funds available” and I feel like bursting into tears.  Why do cheques take for ever to clear???
