Great progress has been made in the last week, and we are now on the cusp of a great breakthrough. It is imminent and the anticipation is very exciting.
We obviously have nothing in place yet for the big move in August, and although we are remarkably calm regarding this, a little tension has crept in on my part. But I've assured myself with the knowledge that I've done all that I can do.
The last week has seen great movement towards the goal. Things have started to happen on three fronts, and another confidence boost on the fourth.
The Job
Finally the big man has come back from his golf tour of The Conga, and sat down and given his attention to my project. He has now agreed with the principle of canning the second phase of the project, which means that it will not progress any further than this summer. Happy Days.
A great bit of influencing on my part for the last year to try and orchestrate this turn around, and definitely one that I should owe to the power of positive thinking and holding a goal in your mind.
This immediately prompted my manager to write an email to HR explaining my situation, and enquiring what the process should be and asking for advice on what to do.
I await the reply this week, and I have a meeting with him on Thursday to hopefully confirm things.
Splendid. Innnnnnnn... 1. As they would say on Bullseye.
The House
After the odd couple visited last week and went back on their offer, we have now had three viewings from the same couple in four days. They either clearly like the place, or they're slowly robbing us. We are still hoping it is the former.
Yesterday, the last visit, was with their parents and we are assuming that they are contributing in some way to the deposit and wanted to have a quick look themselves. The couple themselves are very much like Claire and I when we bought the place, and I have a good feeling about them.
We are expecting an offer today to come in, and I just hope that it is reasonable. More to follow on this later.
The Change Institute
I saw a client twice last week to carry out a time line therapy session, which concluded on Friday night after a two and a half hour session. This was for money and should lead towards some referrals as well.
I've had some really good results with my first client, and this has spurred me on to get more and more business.
My website is nearly finished now. It is online at the moment but I still want to make additional text and formatting changes before I'm happy to leave it.
The Book
I have had a reply from Martina Cole's agent who has read the first three chapters of the book. Bearing in mind that Martina Cole is the bestselling author in the UK at the moment, this guy should know his onions.
He hand wrote a reply that included, "although I'm not accepting new work at the moment, I very much enjoyed your book. It was like PG Wodehouse. Please persevere in getting an agent. You have talent."
I'll take that. I feel like I'm getting close to landing something soon. It's just a case of getting myself into the right time and the right place. It will happen.
So, all in all, a good week. As well as this stuff, Sophie learnt to stand all by herself and I was backstage at The Charlatans, meeting them and chatting with them. What a week.
The job and the house both await big decisions this week, so I'll let you know here when they do.
