2nd interview but have I blown it?

Ok I went for an interview last wednesday, got a phone call monday morning to go back for 2nd interview wednesday at 4. Unfortunately due to my current workload I am unable to make another interview during office hours. I did explain this over the phone and asked if we could postpone until next week. Interviewer suggested one evening this week straight after work as they want to make a decision this week, I instantly agreed to this. She was going to think about it and get back to me., This was yesterday lunchtime and as yet I've heard nothing. I'm probably being a little over the top worrying but I so want this job. Should I email them and just enquire if I am still in the running? Or do I just leave it and chalk it down to experience?

I've decided to send an email first thing tomorrow morning. I can't phone as I'll get tongue tied and completely mess it up. Any ideas how I should phrase an email?Banana LoversBuy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday.

ok so here is my possible email.
Dear P
Further to our phone conversation Monday about a 2nd interview, I wonder if you've had a chance to find out whne would be a suitable time for me to come again. If after 5pm is inconvenient for you I could meet you during my lunchbreak (1-2pm) if that is better?
Please leave a message on my mobile (07*********) or email me.
Regards

Dear P,
Further to our phone conversation on Monday, I was wondering if you had decided a convenient time for me to come in for the second interview. I was thinking about this problem and it occured to me that, if after 5pm is inconvenient for you, I could meet you during my lunchbreak (between 1-2pm), or even before work (I start at Xam).
I'm finishing a project at work at the moment, so my phone is normally off past working hours; so when you've decided, if you could please leave me a message on my mobile (07******* - not on a foum) or email me to this address, that would be fantastic.
I look forwards to hearing from you,
Kind Regards,

It's amazing how those with a can-do attitude and willingness to 'pitch in and work' get all the luck, isn't it?
