    Off to update my list and then catch up with the thread if I can ...........

    Triker - that's awful! No wonder you had such a bad night. I'm glad it's been sorted but I bet it's left a nasty taste.

    Yup, it was hard not to get paranoid given the job climate at the mo. Just glad I had kept everything from the original job advert to all letters regarding it.

    I'm too tired and a bit down to fly....sorry.:(
