ljs, you're home free and there's nothing to get nervous about. Everyone who passes the interview says it's a breeze ... just a formality. Just bring your plastic shopping bag full of the documents they'll never ask to see and you'll be fine. You're done! Start thinking about what you'll do after the interview.

Thanks, fingers crossed
