    What a fab thread!
    I was terrified when I had my LBM and turned to this website for info. Sadly I didn't have the bottle to do my own thread, so I gradually gleaned help & advice from other peoples'. It took me a good while, but I managed to do what was needed to get me on the right track & am now plodding slowly day by day towards my DFD (December 2011). I am forever thankful.
    This though, is something else; it should be a sticky & people shouldn't have to bump it. Its so vital for people to have access to sound advice in those scary early days & if like me they're lacking self confidence & courage, it would be great if this could be at the top & easily accessed.

    Good thread and well worded. Sometimes posts on this board can be a bit of gibberish to new members, alot of slang etc used and IVA DMP and so on thrown about by regulars when newbies wont have a clue what any of it means.
