    Wow, I'm even more blown away with the second installment, this is far better than The Apprentice. You are going to be bigger than Mr Big with all this expert help/advice/pushing and us behind you cheering you on and supporting wherever we can.

    Wish I was in Fife to share a couple of Martini's in celebration and lend a hand with your admin duties!! (but hey, once I receive my whizzy rebuilt laptop back, I'll only be a Skype/email away)

    Well done MG, we knew you could do it! Sounds like you had the time of your life and it's going to be the start of some great things!! :beer::beer::beer:

    Only drawback to all this excitement is I have been glued to the computer waiting for an update instead of moving forward with my own plan for a new life! :rotfl:

    There's a new thread in the DFW Diary section of the forum, where Martin is looking at the possibility of using some diaries from the site to form a book! ;)
