I got my mail forwarding sorted (short answer - don't send a test message from the address you are forwarding to - especially Gmail - as it might not show up). 

I managed to get a few articles written but I havent achieved much at all.  I've only just completed DAY 4 of my 30 day success package and I've been here close to 30 days!  

My ideas of having time to do this were great in theory, but I seem to be time poor at the moment.  Its frustrating as I want to learn this stuff and keep having other 'urgent' work things come up which mean I am working early mornings and late nights ..   I guess my success might be a little longer than 30 days ....  

i figure as long as I dont give up entirely it will be all OK - and maybe it is better to take some stuff in slowly?
