St Helier,
Good luck matey and really enjoy your training, best thing is to try and learn as much as you can, when you do have your PPL for the first six months go back up with an instructor or hit the circuit just to make sure you are still perfoming well and not getting to c0cky.
I started flying when i was 14 with the air cadets and got my PPL when i was 19, I now fly for Thomson and love it, dont get me wrong it wasnt easy and it is so much more expensive that you think you know. Plus there were times that i couldnt get a job.
Be real about it but keep your dream in sight at all times.
Good luck enjoy and maybe see you in the flight deck.
