Hi all. I have decided to allow this one and have just one at a time with this 'diary' kind of thread.
Mazzy's one at the moment is coming to a natural end as the guys there are almost done now. His thread was a huge success and clearly helped many people out who were in the same position at the same time.
For someone coming into it now and starting training I think it would be too much for them to go back and read through it all, hence the admission of this new one.
For those of you who are thinking, (and I know there are) "Not another one", simply don't click on it!! Easy really.
Good luck Ben, I hope it all goes well for you and this diary is as good as the last one we had here.
