Awaiting for your mail to my email address above. janet.
Hello Janet.
One of the purposes of this site is to allow people to contact eachother without having to disclose personal details such as their email address. Like I'm doing now for instance. Seeing as you have no picture, you gave no description of yourself and no reason why you chose to contact me and you only became a member of this site yesterday I'm afraid I'm going to need a little more from you before handing you my contact details. As I say, no offence, but for all I know you're, oh I don't know, a spammer who just wants hold of my email address, perhaps?
Anyway, cheerybye and I hope to hear from you again, this time trying to appear a little more like a real person.

The situation is this. Last year, as part of my course, me and another guy did a demonstration project for a division of the NHS who are looking to become a private company and rebrand themselves at the same time. They liked what we did and wanted to take it further. We were supposed to have a meeting with them and then that got postponed for a month and then it eventually happened and the upshot was they wanted us to go away and do a cost estimate for them. I was handling the technical side so the other guy says he'll do that. Cue me not hearing anything from him by Christmas. I get in touch with him after New Year and he's all like "Well, I haven't done anything yet but I'll look into it. Speak to you next week.". That was Monday. Wednesday of next week (this week) I phone him. "No, I still haven't done anything but it'll only take five minutes for me to do. I'll call you tomorrow.". So today he phones me. (Finally!) "No, sorry I spoke to the client. They say it has to go to committee and they don't see it being taken forward." Balls.
So time to look for a new client. Sadly this will probably be on a pro bono or nominal fee basis until I can build up a reasonable portfolio. Anyone still interested feel free to comment.

Changed font to Ariel / Helvetica and font size to 9pt in body, tables, table cells and div elements. Changed background colour to a pleasant shade of purple, if a little dark.
