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.

Got offered an interview.... (1st role of interest - 1st interview)
Got offered the role..... (Really strong indicators at interview but?.......
EMail confirmation & various data requests, T&C agreed start date (after my Hols!!))
Reasonable rate..... Reasonable role.... Reasonable commute.....
Cynic in me is still "waiting for the Contract to get ink on it" but basically feeling Smug as Fu<k.....

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.
