Hi,
Flyaway, thankyou so much for your massive response, i think you have definately given us all a few things to think about and I know it will definately help me to prepare (well as much as i can). It's great to see people taking the time to help others out, which is very rare these days!!
Good luck to everyone who is going to the open days coming up and for those waiting for a final answer. Flyaway all the best to you and hope your phone call comes soon!
