I feel scared, eventually had to go up to £2100 because I need a new gutter as well, the existing one is cracked, might as well get it sorted while someone's got scaffolding up. At least it's payment on completion, they offer a 5 year guarantee in writing, no dodgy cash payments but bank transfer like a proper business. I'm now waiting for a start date for the works. I'm still anxious about it but at least I've got rid of the total anxiety spiral about making a decision. I've made one and now have to see how it all pans out. Maybe now I can at least concentrate on work and earning enough money to pay for this bullshit and pay my friend back one day. So grateful to have a friend offer that help. I might actually eat something now.
