Took us about 7 months, then another 5 to submit to council and get approval, and M still managed to send the wrong external selections to council......I believe it! Just think you're still just in admin, add on the pain of this sort of response when they are making a mess of your house build and you can see things being done badly, out of sequence etc etc. Lovely house but the journey isn't much fun.

And they tried to tell me we'd have a house by April.... Lucky I'm not silly enough to fall for that one.
