Request for a Full!

I am officially the happiest girl in the world! I received an email tonight from one of the editors at Mills and Boon. Let me have a dreamy moment and quote "Susan, we absolutely love your voice - it's contemporary, lively and really fresh, and there are some utterly unique fabulous moments in your story such as the brilliant ending to chapter one!"
Have I told you yet that I'm happy? She has given me lots of detailed feedback - I've just printed it and it's three pages - asking for some revisions and requesting a full by the beginning of May. The revisions sound completely manageable and I'm going to start straight away.
I am so happy to have this opportunity. Someone from Mills and Boon has read my work and likes it! I didn't get a form R! I didn't think I was going to hear anything as I knew one my counterparts in the Medical Pitch had heard back already with a request, so I was sure mine must be heading for the bin.
Thank you, thank you and Please, please, please just let me do this right.....

    You should have two Galaxys - at least. You deserve lots of chocolate.

    Congratulations on Medical Romance requesting the full, Susan! I'm so happy for you. I have not started on my revisions yet. My agent is reading my manuscript right now, but I hope to get started next week. My deadline is end of April. I'm glad to be going through this with someone else! Keep me posted...I'll do the same.
    Happy writing, or should I say revising!
