        Yeah, as soon as I heard 'Silverlink' and tuned into the Bobette accent I knew it'd be a waste of time, my leisure time!

              I have been contacted about 2 roles in the passed couple of day - both of them perm ones. I got some perm offers last week (or maybe week before) too.

              No contract ones though ... although I am actually in a contract until May anyway and have no actually looked for anything.

                  Strangely enough my phone went mad yesterday....2 calls for one role resulting in a telephone interview an hour later (waiting to hear), 1 role from Bob (stupidly crap rate), 1 who "put me forward" (wait and see!) and one from an agent (reputable one that I know )checking my availability for stuff coming up in the next 2 weeks.

                  Mental...
