Hi all, thanks for the replies :D I'll take a proper look at the projects you talked about as soon as I have some time. I quite like the idea of the buy nothing day and would love to help with a cc-salon in london if there was anyway I could - although living in Cornwall I'm a bit detached! If there's anything you need help with, then drop me an e-mail off list and I'll see if I can do something.
