Congrats
To those on the bench this is encouraging as it happend like that with me. Nothing of interest or no interest at all for weeks then boomed got a role in around 3 days from start to finish.
Keep the faith and the contracts shall return.

EMail confirmation & various data requests, T&C agreed start date (after my Hols!!))

Looking good.
Indeed, don't count your invoices until your allocated desk has hatched, but well done on getting an interview and well done for getting an offer.
