NPPL - What to do next?

Hi Folks,

I've recently got my NPPL (SLMG), and have been enjoying flying around the place. Going on a few longer crosscountry flights (weather and work permitting), and have done the usual friends and family sight seeing flights that every newly qualified pilot must have done.

However, I'm really keen to continue learning and honing my skills, rather than just pootle around the sky, so I was wondering if people had any suggestions for furthering my studies?

The NPPL doesn't allow for additional ratings (IMC, Night etc), so would my best starting point be to convert my licence to the full JAA-PPL (or whatever the ESA equivalent is nowadays)?

I have a full ICAO medical (rather than a doctor's signoff), does that make any difference to what I can do on a standard NPPL?

What would you do in my situation?
