Yippee! Hooray! Woo-Hoo!

and other such celebratory exclamations... For today things in Operation Get-Viki-Here took a step forward at both ends (ow! sounds painful!).

Starting with Viki telling her boss this morning of her intention to quit (if she was going to do this sooner, rather than later, she had to do it before the school year started)... and her boss took it surprisingly well, she said. He's going to tell her this week when she can go, but it looks like it's either going to be about the 15th of September, or the end of it - Compared to if she didn't come over now, then the earliest she could come would be June next year.

Then I spoke to the council to see if they could give me a provisional "yes" or "no" as to whether or not it would be okay for Viki to come and kip on the sofa (in case it was deemed "over-crowding"), and they said they'd send me an application to fill out, but they "didn't think it would be a problem".

Then Viki got what she's been waiting for from the bank!

I've not quite got the champagne (okay, fizzy plonk) on ice yet, but it will be here waiting for her arrival!
