5p,
Bad luck about your QXC, I'm sure it will happen for you soon.
I was all set to do mine on September 4 2001, but there was poor WX, so then 6th, scrubbed due to a c**k up on the briefing front, cancelled again due to WX on 10th, then postponed due to the grounding of all a/c following the events of the 11th.
Then I got bogged down in work, which took me abroad so it wasn't until the following April that I did it. Lots of extra training hours to catch up again!
Still, it seemed an absolute piece of p*ss given all the preparation I had done.
Good luck
