Had a 3 hour kip on the sofa, so a bit more 'with it' now!  
Right, details:
- Was in there a few hours again, had a great talk, and after about 90 minutes he formally offered me the job. I verbally accepted, and will confirm in writing soon.
- My tum was awkward this morning, but came good just at the last minute - I got to the unit 5 minutes early. It behaved perfectly throughout the whole interview, not even any grumbly noises, which was great.
- I start as soon as my new car arrives - which is due 14th Oct, but might be a week early - and he's happy for me to "start slowly", and start off just doing 3 days a week, working up as soon as I can without pushing myself too fast.
- My job is half Personal Assistant to the Managing Director / half Marketing. (As my pops pointed out earlier, as I'll be the only Marketing employee in the UK I can put "Head of UK Marketing" on my resume!!  )
- The package is great - awesome salary, open-ended bonus based on company performance, private health insurance after 6 month probation period and a company car after 18 months.
- There's going to be lots of customer liaison / business developement, some travel (definitely to Germany, probably to the factory in Czechoslovakia and *maybe* to the US if I'm really lucky.
- I get to write my 'wish list' of equipment I need for when I start - including a top-spec PC (so I can do some grahpics work), a laptop, and, if I want it, a PDA cellphone, which will be cool (kind of a Blackberry but better). He's having me an office built right next to his, with a door between the 2. It'll have a lovely view out the window of the neighbouring industrial units!!  He's happy to support me in whatever study / training I want to do, which is fantastic.
Think that's the lot!! I'm absolutely stoked, completely blown away, and absolutely terrified at the same time... 
Thanks everyone again for your support - both now and over the past few months. Especially Cassandra, Michelle, Flipada & Janey, and particularly Tina (SaraSage - via email) - you guys have been awesome in encouraging me I can get through this, and I that I CAN get / do this job. Love ya guys!! As I do all of you, again this forum has proved itself invaluable. Jamie sends his thanks too, for all of you looking out for me!
