Dangerman,
Go to Fragrant Harbour wannabes and read the entire thread from start to finish.
It's here

Yes it's a long thread, yes there are a lot of idiotic posts, but within the first 60-70 pages you should find A LOT of help.
I would also advise you to read up on the pros and cons of the CX CPP - there are a few, including not actually performing any TO/Landings whilst an SO, and potential upgrade time from SO to JFO....
