Thanks Buzz, this is the confidence boost that those of us who are mid-application process needed.
I have read so often that 'you have either got it or you don't' but I can't work out exactly what it is that you have 'got' to have, and how do I know if I have got it or not?
I am going to give it my best shot and I am sure someone will soon let me know if I haven't got it!
