It does say in the page that you may not get it right away, so don't get your hopes for a 10am slot

It's about the only 360 activity I'll be able to have for a while or have had for a while. I can't wait to finish my daughters bedroom. As soon as I've done that I have to start the main bedroom
Fear not though I'll be around to whoop you at PGR3
