How tall are you then Dan? I don't give that BMI guff much credence, just asking.

But avoid breast stroke. Steady there Stan, it won't help his knee.. :)

TBH it wasn't as much of an ordeal as I had thought it would be. The "habitual" larder and fridge trips were stopped when my hand touched the door-handle and I had a glass of water instead. All coffee was taken "black" and tea was of the fruit...

Done well, I'll have to try that, maybe just 12 hours to start :p
