Would have to agree with FFF. Pretty skint so spent what cash I had on doing multi-crew jet sim time this last year rather than SEP/MEP. When I got an interview my lack of recent 'real' flying wasn't mentioned, altho' luckily my ratings were still valid, but when I got into the sim for the check ride, found it a lot easier than if I'd only had an hour or two practice the week before...You can always throw in a bit of cheap (relatively) VFR for fun!
