Bravo Gekko,

Great to hear you're doing so well mate.

I'm renting too. Like you, I couldn't stand IHS and reached the limits of my endurance when I left. I'll be buying next year.

I also hear you about that prep on the drive home for conflict! I used to repeat the word 'calm' over and over on the drive home from work.

When I first came here your story was one of the first I read. Your XW sounded very, very, very similar to mine.

Good luck mate!
