What can I say......Thank you all for your lengthy replies!!!
As has already been mentioned, plucking up that courage to take that leap is the hardest part! To be perfectly honest....I know I am capable of landing a job, its just the finance that scares the

out of me!!
As for the comment of spending less time on prune...you guys read books on the flight deck...I have to 'look' like I am working at my desk when I am bored, hence the posts!!....
Thanks again all..its onwards with the PPL for now. Went solo after 3 sessions of circuits, so must be doing something right.
All the best....
