well there's a lot of food for thought on this thread, and thanks to weeksy and the couch driver for your views chaps, I do respect your opinions.
If I go ahead with this then for me it'll certainly be a case of stick to the budget in order to meet the mortgage payments! I don't want to go there aiming to win cos I know there's not a hope in hell that I will, but will just set a realistic target for each meet based on who I am and what I've got. Getting that extra place ain't worth giving up eating for!
It'd be just a toe in the water this time, and as for getting serious in the future... well, we'll see.
Have to go now, I have a sponsors meeting to attend :P
