Blimey!
Well thank you, one and all, for sending such a warm welcome - and I'm pleased to have met some kindred spirits. I have a few forum things yet to understand - e.g. what TOTM means, and what "re power" is (sounds good, though!) - but it will all come through.
The diet has now begun - the process is in process - but I'm going to go on about this in another thread. I just wanted to iterate my thanks and say how much I look forward to getting to know you all over the coming months.
