Good luck everyone. The important thing is to enjoy your flying and not to hurry. I'm 42 yrs old and always wanted to fly, I was convinced that I'd pass at (or around) 45 hours. I suppose it became a target and to an extent it began to spoil my lessons. The reason for that was, if I had a poor lesson (like steep turns) which took a couple of lessons to get something like decent, I considered that to have put me off my target of 45 hours, which led to a bit of dissappointment.
It was a daft thing to do. My first instructor told me after around 8-9 hours that I wasn't far from circuits and should get a medical and Air Law done so I could solo "Quite soon". Due to a change of instructors, the Club going bust and bad weather (which required refresher lessons) I solo'd at 21 hours. Do you know what, it doesn't matter! Eventually I got my PPL at just under 60 hours but I was ready and confident. I thought my Nav was good until an Instructor called Keith took me flying. Honestly, I knew nothing. He taught me more in two lessons on Nav than I'd learned from any book and 50 hours in the air.
So, take your time, its not a race. Rather be a safe pilot that someone who 'just does enough' to get the PPL licence. Now, before I get 'shot down' there are good pilots with a PPL with under 46 hours in their book but I'm simply trying to say that your PPL is an experience and the more you learn the more you'll enjoy flying and the longer you may live.
