Thanks for the welcome folks, Amanda (leachio) i am very keen to speak re your experience please, as i am in the same boat but i am unable to private message you at present. i think its because i have only been on forum for short time any ideas how to contact cheers Alan.

looking at other peoples experiences things seem to move pretty darn quick!!

I am in a slightly different situation than most people, but for me, so far, it has seemed to move really quick, then very slow, and really quick again. It seems to be a "hurry up and wait" type of situation, until the end when everything must be one all at once. :laugh
