Sounds about normal FFF.
Apart from in my case I got 1 circuit in a PA38 after I started then got put on a train to pick an aircraft up. Then 2 days later had to do a INV to turweston and back to pic one up off annual. The dodgy CPL xcountry I put in my CPL application was well a truly sorted, the day my License turn up I did 6 hours instructing.
It is as much fun as the effort you put in.
