Sorry to hear that friend.
Hope you find the means to keep in there somehow....UK PPL community badly needs new blood.
Again, good luck with the future.

Very familiar story.
I'm just about to put my lessons on hold until I get another job. Mind you, with the way the weather's been recently, I'm more likely to get a job before I get airborne again anyway.

Same here - first solo 7pm on the Sunday, unemployed by 10am Monday. Didn't fly for 6 months after that. :(
For what it's worth, I really wish now I'd gone into debt to continue the lessons. When I got another job I had no time to fly. I should have flown every day while unemployed instead of sitting around at home for all of July and August, and paid for it later.
Get a credit card that is interest free for the first nine months and learn on that. I believe Tesco, Virgin and Egg all have an offer at the moment.

Safe, that is bad news :(
Don't know where you fly/flew from, but there's bound to be hour-builders and others happy for company at your club - okay it isn't LHS, but it's still airborne :)
