Oh heck, it's starting to feel real!
Just had a call from the HR lady, she is sending the contract today for me to sign. My official start date is April 2nd.
I will be spending a couple of days at their Manchester HQ, then on to Nottingham to look at the operational side, then to Enfield to pick up my company car!
This means I will be driving from Enfield back to Devon ON MY OWN! 
Time to practice giving myself a good kick up the bottom.......

Well done Phoenix - drinks on you then! 
My sister, age 53, is also starting a big new job on 2nd April, after some time in positions well below her experience and qualifications.
Riverwalk I did offer champagne all round in Lil's the other night!
Every good wish to your sister, I'm 54 so I do know what it's like to be starting over at a certain age!
Phoenix we shall look forward to hearing all about the new job and are thrilled that an employer has,, at last, recognised your sterling qualities.
