Lads,
Thanks for the replies so far. I can understand your frustrations completely. I am however researching this very much but because it is such a daunting and possibly risky thing to embark on it sometimes feels good to get advice specifically for yourself. I will continue to read up on all of it, especially the links that I have been directed to. Thanks again and I cannot promise that I will not be back again with what might seem like a basic or silly question to ye but one which I will ask after researching and researching it myself.
