    I am okay. Have broadband back again today so can go back on AQA.

    Any word on the job?


    I haven't heard anything today about the job, they probably want someone who can do more hours in a day as it can get quite busy. I'm hoping that they call and ask me to register with the Agency they use so that if anything comes up I can just go and do it.
