It's going to be a sad Christmas here
I just got our first bill from the architect we hired. What should naturally follow that last sentence is a string of foul words strung together for the length of two entire lines, but I don't want to offend any sensitive readers. So, I will instead boil it down to the following: ! We were a little disappointed with what we were presented, which makes paying for it a little more painful. On the other hand, who knows what Phase 2 will bring. Hopefully blissful happiness, but since blissful happiness can sometimes be expensive, probably it will come with another big bill attached to it.
This puts a crimp on when we can start making the changes that are at the top of our list. I should also say, it's not a terrific surprise, it's just that seeing a set figure on a bill in black and white and with a dreaded due date has been rather heart-stopping. And eye-opening. On the other hand, maybe there's a long lost relative somewhere out there who has a trust fund set up and we're about to reap the benefits. What are the chances?

You mean, I am not the only one who secretly wishes for that?!
I kept hoping when I was a teenager that a long lost Irish relative left our family some land. When I realized that wasn't going to happen, I was okay with it because it rains too much over there....Sorry Ade. But seriously, it does.
Trust fund would be acceptable though, if anyone is listening.
