Once again I'd just like to thank all of you who have taken the time to offer advice, some of whom I recognise on here as being extremely well respected.
Totally appreciate this is a forum for professionals, I did think twice before posting and perhaps should have made that clearer in the original post.
That said, I hoped I'd get a bit of positive feedback from you guys and confess to being quite humbled by the number of kind and helpful replies.
Thanks again
