I don’t think anyone really has an easy time of it (except those who learned in the Military of course

).

Gained PPL in Sept 2003, separated from husband, moved house, made redundant, new job, moved again. Relocated to far away (it’s a long way to Norfolk from anywhere!), new job, new house, started studying for commercial exams Sept 2005. Father diagnosed terminally ill, 180 round mile trip 2/3 times a week to care for him. Wanted part-time work so lost job, new job, bought house, father died Feb 2007, sat first exams two months after, wade through father’s finances and attic, and finished all exams March 2008. Started CPL course June 2008, sat skill test Sept 2008 and STILL waiting to finish the night flying.

When people suggest allowing twice as much time and money, they’re not far off!

Cheers

Whirls

…and I’m older’n you!
