    So there I was, pottering about the house waiting for the kettle to boil...

    ...then the elusive call came! See you there, Bearcop!

    It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!

    To be fair, callsign "CarrotCake" would be more suited to Hotshots than Top Gun! :P

    Haha..you've got a point there RedPool! Maybe just stick with our normal names then! It's all seeming very surreal at the moment isn't it?

    Definitely - I don't think it will all sink in properly until the welcome pack arrives.

    I know I'm finding it exceptionally difficult to focus on anything knowing I'll be dropping it all in a couple of months! Doing exactly the same as you though I'll just be driving about and all of a sudden start smiling to myself haha

    Filling up now folks, good to see plenty of boardies confirmed. I think a strong drink and a celebratory viewing of Hot Fuzz is in order.

    We've waited for this for soo long. I just know when we're buried under with work and stressing about exams we'll look back at this time with nostalgia.

    Buy we've only gone and done it!

    I was wondering this on my way to work this morning. 

    I've my resignation letter drafted and ready to go as well - going to wait until the welcome pack arrives though. 

    I reckon I'll be the other parent of this squad, CarrotCake!

    This is going to be great - so many boardies on board now :D

    If our start date is after the 15th of the month you aren't paid until the end of the month after....as long as 7/8 potentially without pay. One to think about.
