Hopefully he will update here but did put on another forum this:-
"Very happy indeed Johnboy. Like you say, I'm not even at 8 months, so probably 70% there.....but already it has had a huge impact on my confidence. In the past two months I've attended so many daytime events that previously I just did not like the idea of due to sunlight/wind/rain etc. Now I simply just get up and go with no fear of feeling exposed and that feeling is priceless to be honest.
A few weeks back I was on a stag party in another city with around 20 mates and we were in a night club where lets just say the talent was quite high. This random girl comes over chatting and after about 20 seconds actually changed the subject by saying that I have great hair. She caught me offguard a little as the only previous comments over the last 7-8 years have been of a negative nature......so it blew me away. I asked if she was joking abd she said no, she was dead serious.
I could get used to this! "
