Chequered - I'd concur 100% with what you say about the IMC. I've had around 10 hours now and it is such a good way to consolidate the PPL experience.
Doing ILS approaches is very rewarding - I use Doncaster rather than East Midlands and have been fortunate enough to have some of my lessons in real IMC conditions where focussing on the instrument scan is vital (I have veered off the straight and narrow a few times - it is so easy to do!).
I had the leans just the once. On about my third or fourth hour. We were in contact with East Midlands and heard the Emergency Response Helicopter crew return to base due to poor viz. I was being tossed about, in cloud, no reference to the ground and not feeling so great - then the leans kicked in. Quite unsettling!
Whirlybird - No problem, once it is tidy and more complete you can read at your leisure. :-)
