Hi Richard and welcome to our forum.
If you look around, there have been a few diary threads, one follows our good friend, Mazzy who posted after every lesson he had on here and kept a really good on-line diary. Have a look at it, you will find it handy at your stage of things.-->
From Zero to Forty-Five- My PPL Diary
Keep us posted and of course if you have any questions at all you will find some very experienced guys (and Girls) around here.
Good Luck
