Hi jools
Is there any chance that you could see your CD any earlier, not sure if that kind of flexibility is possible. I know that my CD does other meetings and if there was a situation that might otherwise cause me to give up she would arrange to briefly see me outside her regular hours. After all, satisfied customers will continue to purchase and recommend to their friends, so it is hopefully financially worth it for your CD.
Sorry if you have already thought of this and for whatever reason its just not feasible x
