Haven't had time to think much about this but my suggested reponse is:
"Sure, I understand. As in my email, I just need to explain some financial stuff/ask a few financial questions.
This weekend is good for me. Which day were you thinking and where would you like to meet? It would be nice for us to go somewhere which would be conducive to us having a positive conversation - any suggestions?
Is this a step too far, too quickly? I don't want to frighten him off. Also, if he came to the house, he may stay a bit longer and do some more jobs but I have reservations on him coming here this time. I was going to suggest a venue and bringing coffee but that sounds like pursuit, even to me!! Perhaps a beach café may be better and then just see what pans out ...
Thoughts please ... just remember that this is a big opportunity for me and they don't come around any too often so I need it to be GREAT, not just good!! No pressure then!
