Wow they sure want you to wait hey 
As soon as you're seated at the negotiating table place a can of WD-40 in front of you and the deal will be done 
Thinking of you, Gromit. Prayers are sent.
It's the people who are supposed to keep our lights on 
I should've expected it!

THe waiting is the hardest part............. hope it works out for the best.....fingers crossed.
But if just the WD-40 isn't enough, slowly calmly set a cigarette lighter beside the can and just smile at them..........that will get a response

So I've now put my WD40 and lighter into my briefcase - no harm in having a back up plan - thanks for the advice
They've asked me to draw up an Engagement Letter and Assignment confirmation so I'm taking that as a good sign. They've phoned a number of my clients for references and I've come out A-OK at that level. I know my pricing was the best simply because I don't have the over-heads of the other candidates.
The problem is getting the 2 board directors from the holding parastatal to actually attend the final meeting. It was these 2 who suddenly found a conflicting a meeting on Tuesday - but they work on 'African time'.
I'm hopin to hear from them today though. As soon as I know, you guys will know.
And if all else fails, I'll use the dynamite!

Thanks for the update. Please keep us informed. AS BC said, we are pulling for you and we care.
Thanks guys - I know you do! That's why I came to this forum - people genuinely care.
Update - the Letter of Engagement they requested has been signed and accepted by all parties
The Board of Directors are meeting today at 2pm (after having investigated me??) to finalise their selection of service provider (so why sign the Engagement letter?) Is this just a formality so that they can 'tick' all their boxes?
Will hear either late this afternoon or early tomorrow morning whether I've been assigned the contract or not.
I'm taking it as a good sign that all signatures are in the right places on the Letter of Engagemen!
