Stu, everyone I have spoken to reassures me your the best out there. Looking at these pictures I'm not sure there's anything left for you to work with but in a funny sort of way watching my dream being dismantled in front of my eyes and then rebuilt is giving me a better feeling than waiting for me 3 kids to be born.

 

A bit more pressure Stu, my middle son has just seen the pictures and announced he wants me to drive him to his wedding on April 13th 2013 in her.
