Whirlybird, you couldn't have put it better.
Not wanting to tell everyone my financial situation of course but i'm a Freelance Television Outside Broadcast Sound Engineer mainly covering sport and football in particular, therefore the pay isn't bad and the hours of work are mainly on a weekend so plenty of time off midweek, presumably the quietest time at a Flying School too?
As mentioned I don't drink, smoke or have a family or any other expensive habits although I do own a racing car but that doesn't cost that much too run.
Having said that I do seem to have an Ebay addiction, I buy 70's toys and F1 Memorabilia and watches for some reason, I just love watches!
However all that is stopping this New Year and my aim is to sell, not buy and i've already got 40 items up for auction!
SO, I definately have the time and inclination and, now that i've stopped wasting my money on Ebay, the finances too!
And you're right, its a hell of a day out!
Oh, and did I mention I live 5 minutes from the Airport!!!!
