Lol at some of the replies to this post. Let me clear some things up:
I'm no newbie to fixed riding, I've been doing it over a year, I'm just new to this forum!
She has wanted a fixie for a while so I finally found one suitable for her from a mate at work (XS Giant Bowery cos she's small!)
I've gone through the "lean forward & lock yer legs" thing for an evening & it didn't work too well, as mentioned by somebody, will try it on grass next!
We aren't in London so I won't be able to meet up with people any time soon :-( , but hopefully in the new year!
I can skid in many different ways thanks!
Here's a video from the other night to prove this! (With added mate-in-background-on-phone)

Thankyou to everyone for the help! I'll let you know on the progress!
