Hi Lucky

Yes, it is a cracking job, however it's £24k for five days so will be approx £14k for a three day week.

Don't suppose you've got any admin jobs for a recovering alcoholic have you Beryl?

Seriously though, good luck with finding someone as good as those already working with you, including you.

Best wishes
