    Congrats. Your dates follow mine exactly except I haven't had my firm offer! I'm praying it come today, I'm starting to find the whole thing really stressful. The thought of the long weekend is bringing tears to my eyes, I am just that frustrated at it all :(

    I have been emailing recruitment team Kirkcaldy and offcourse to debt share service person who was doing my checks. It's tough to keep waiting, but good news is just round the corner. Fingers crossed.

    Good luck to those still waiting for the offers.

    Don't lose hope, if you are called sooner or later, it just depends on the Checks completion date,regional office and paperwork.
    The locations decisionis based on post code first and scores second. It has nothing to do with completion of clearance of checks sooner or later.Hth

    Received 'the' phone call and was given a confirmed offer for West Yorkshire this afternoon after receiving and accepting a provisional offer on 10th May.

    Start date is July 9th, then on to 6 weeks of training.

    On a side note, the lady on the phone told me that as I've now accepted a job in W Yorkshire, I will be taken off the reserve list for the North West and Derbyshire. She also mentioned I was 'quite high' on the reserve list for the NW with a score of 35.

    Good luck to all those still waiting.

    Congratulations!! I knew it wouldn't be long before more people heard from WY, where abouts are you going to be based? I start on 25th June, but have been told I will probably be advising within 2 weeks because I have previously worked as an FTA not too long ago. Great news :)
  • FINALLY got confirmed offers from London! There are two job centres within walking distance of where I currently live ...but I wasn't offered either of them of course. All offers are roughly an hour away but I'm going to have to move in a few months so its not too much of a problem.

    I've got to call back after the bank holiday with my decision. Did anyone else get time to decide? I'm glad I got the time as I'll be moving to wherever I decide but I'm slightly paranoid that when I call back the office I decide on won't be available anymore :eek:

    Congrats to radiofree and others who've got their firm offers, hang in there all those still will waiting - its a slow process but its definitely happening!

    Congratulations Nipsy, the firm offer still be there for you only thing which can jeopardise is if you don't get back to them within agreed time scale. Don't be paranoid, you have got it :T. It's all yours.:beer:

    I don't know if I would have been offered time to decide or not; I think the fact that I said 'oh, brilliant - thankyou!' in a high pitched, excited voice may have been a bit of a clue as to what that decision may have been! This is why I don't play poker!

    Congratulations to all the confirmed so far!
