I need an extraction

Ok, so it's been a while since I last posted an update. Lots going on but not really achieving anything, if you know what I mean. My cheeky offer for the two units was rejected, so I am proceeding with just the one for now. Surprise, surprise, once I pulled out, they suddenly wanted to do a deal, but too late now.

I reached the grand old age of 40 (on Valentines Day) & survived the party & the morning after. Life begins, so they say, and they may be right - I'll let you know in due course.

Part of the conditions of my planning application was that I submit an extraction plan to the council for approval. I thought it should be pretty straightforward but asked for a meeting with Environmental Health just to be sure, and damn me if it isn't another thing that could cause a delay and will definitely cost more money. Sod it! Now I need to find a ventilation engineer who can move pretty quickly and for sensible money, but no matter how much it is, I haven't got the budget, so something else will have to give.

On a more positive note, I have got some excellent hosts lined up & have booked them through May & June, so now we have a deadline to hit - oh the pressure! Because we now have a deadline, the main website (www.just-cook.com) has gone live, even though it is not 100% ready and Junie B, the Google chick has started to work her magic. She has only been doing it 2 days and we already have our first sale! Woo Hoo!

Jules the super sparks starts work on Monday week, and if everything else falls into place, we should be ready to run some test classes during the end of April, so fingers crossed, but for some reason I am feeling very nervous. Excited, but also nervous. What a great feeling...
