Thanks guys for the support :roll eyes:
I'm glad I joined the forum as I was hoping to get more info which I have got. I'm now sure that Marie is the one to 'pop my cherry' as it doesn't sound that it would be like a visit to the dentist! Just have to wait now for next weeks calendar and hope our diaries coincide.
Is there anyone else I should be thinking of as a follow up?
Cheers again
I'm not miles off your age and took the plunge just a month ago so I know what you're going through. Hope you don't mind a couple of lines of advice. Apologies if you're already on the case.
1. Do use the email service in AW before making a booking request. A polite query about availability or location or something. Hopefullly you'll get a reply which might tell you more about her personality. If she doesn't reply or appears arrogant then, well, upto you what you do next.
2. Don't get your hopes too high on any punt being the perfect experience. It usually doesn't quite go according to plan or as expected. But don't overthink it or get upset. It's like betting on a 'sure thing', there's no such thing and it will probably lose. Just move on to the next one.
As I said I'm new here too so there's definitely more experienced people on here with much better advice. They're a very helpful and humorous bunch.
Good luck.
