I like playing it. Playing being the operative word, as it would be tough to classify it as that right now. But I am going to try and practise at least once everyday, or whatever my fingers will allow.

Yup, practise is the operative word for learning anything. But rather than one very long session, where you will end up with sore fingers etc, try two shorter sessions, at least when you first start. And try maybe two pieces that use very basic chords and very few chords. Try one for one practise session, the other for the other practise session, keeps it more interesting that way.
Same thing really as playing with a puppy and training it. Keep the sessions short enough to keep the interest, but not long enough that it becomes tedious because then it is work, not fun.
