brilliant! thank you so much.
I got my £150 pounds today so i'm looking on buying some stuff now! As far a partner goes, I think I may just have one. Going to get together to train soon if I can keep him away from bodyboarding for a few hours a week!

Thanks everyone, but I got to rush and organise a delivery of an 8"0 long lump of a surfboard!

I think from 8kg to 10 kg it will good for u . if the weater is good u don't need more than 8kg but if the weater is bad and the ocen is weavey u need 10 kg.
after all u can try it and u will decied after that.

I dive with a 6.5 mil suit and 6.5kg weight. That throws your 'rule' out the window doesn't it? There are just too many variables in this equation to give a useful standard weight versus suit rule. You need to figure out at what depth it is most appropriate to be neutrally buoyant for your activity and experiment in a safe environment to find that weigh for you. As others have said your last few meals before diving can affect buoyancy quite a lot.

Maybe if I eat lead?

Could be a problem if you need to ditch your weight Alix!

fine, just don't try beans, they have the opposite effect rofl

I've seen a lady dive with a 3mm suit and 8kg of Lead... I had the '!?!?!?' written all over my face

!!!! She was probably neutrally bouyant at 45,000 feet above sea level rofl

Hmmmm... that's a good point. Maybe if they are GM beans with the properties of metal? (why the hell would you eat that?!)
