Crikey!!! No wonder she kept tabs on it, gonna take me a long time to make that up to her!
That does not include our living costs whilst I was at Bristol flying centre from March - June.
No question doing all the flying in the UK pushed the costs up, also Bristol Flying Centre are not the cheapest, but I felt they were a good choice, even though it meant being away from home for 12 weeks. So I dare say you could do it a lot cheaper if you had to.
Hope that helps.
Cheers
