Cheers jonny - that's reassuring. I've heard (or maybe read somewhere?) that it's good to be able to touch the ground with the tips of your toes whilst on the saddle. I'm not sure what advantage this gives you (if any) but it's just something I've heard. The only annoying issue I've experienced so far is getting my jeans/belt caught underneath the tip of the saddle when setting off and trying to get onboard. But then these are the dangers of not using cycle-specific clothing!
