Thank you very much for replying AtlanticAngel! I just dread looking at the mail everytime it comes in just in case there is a rejection letter! I could call my friend who works for VA already and is currently working in the Recruitment Dept of all places as she is pregnant so she is grounded but I feel bad for involving her and I dont know if she will know or not and part of me doesent want to ring her in case she does know and its bad news (I know I am a coward arent I?!)
Anyway, thanks again and I shall just have to be patient and call them direct if necessary!
Are you going to apply again?
