CAT!?! For gawds sake, he's a decendant of a flipping convict! At least my descendants had an honest job!!! lol (btw, looks like you're getting a reputation already....snigger) THANKS, GUYS - Your wishes are really appreciated, and I do thank you all for your support. I've had both positive and negative feedback about this decision, but at the end of the day see more pro's than cons, comparing it to my current position.... not least of all I'll get to see my kids, which I currently get only 1 hr in the morning during the week at the moment, coz of my naff shift. Even if I take the job and hate it, that'll make it worthwhile....and hey - if I don't like it, I'll move on! Anyways, as I say, that's all circumspect at the moment, the decision isn't mine to make......I can only wait & see. Once again, thanks everyone! Mike. (",)
