Question How soon to do an IMC?

I'm getting slightly ahead of myself here in that I haven't sat my skills test yet (mock next week), but.....

how soon after getting your PPL is it appropriate to do your IMC?

I've got 5 days holiday left to take this year, so I could stich 9 days together and get out to the US to do it (if that's long enough). It appeals because I think it'll make me a better pilot. I have the holiday days left and so it makes sense from that perspective and I'd get 7 days flying in a row which I won't manage in the UK I'm sure!

I've asked a couple of friends who are experienced pilots who have said get I should get some experience VFR first, but I was wondering what other people thought??
