That's right, I don't know how to get started with OOP. I would appreiciate if someone gave me a fairly easy / intermediate idea for a console program. Cheers 
Give me a C++ OOP mission!

First time with OOP? Don't choose C++.
Seriously, hook yourself up with Java or C#. These languages are literally oooozing with OO features that will give you a clear idea of what is good OO and what is bad OO. Once you've learnt enough you'll be able to carry most of the concepts back to C++.

make a GUI based tool for creating 3 dimensional flow charts using drag and drop and then outputting them as VRML files.
there you go, a complx task ideally suited for C++ development that WILL need OO.
on a more serious note, the C# or Java alternative may be a better bet. There are a load of fundamental OO tutorials at http://java.sun.com

Hmm, well I know a lot of C++ theory, including pointers etc and I have used PHP quite fluently, but I will look at C# I guess.

C# is very similar to C++, and has almost all of C++'s OOP features at its disposal, plus some new ones, so you'll find that a lot of what you know about C++ can be applied to C# as well.
Pointers are also available in C#, albeit only when writing unsafe code, and you shouldn't need to use them in the majority of cases anyway, as C# is a managed language.
