I was advised it would be in my best interest to sign for an extension so it partially tells me it will be a longer wait before we see a start date, I should be over the moon about it all but I'm extremely anxious about additional costs would like to know if anyone else has been in this situation and what was the result? If I do it by the month how much would it be per month? Can PM me if you don't want to post here Thanks In advance This is our timeline so far..
