Wow - replies already, that's really great to see - thank you. I think I'm going to need some help over the next 'however long', so it's great to know you guys are out there! Yes, FLCamper, I've already read a number of posts from various people and it really does make me feel like I'm not alone and there could be help at hand if/when I need it. Day 1 is just about over for me now (it's 19:45 here and and I tend to go to bed quite early these days!)
I need to go through my books and find something inspiring (or maybe immensely tiring!) and hopefully get a decent sleep in. I'm looking forward to tomorrow already! Best Wishes everyone!
