Hello buddy!
Dont panic about how long it takes you to go solo. Everyone is different and everyong goes at their own time. If you are only flying once every week or so it becomes difficult to remember all the finer points in getting round the circuit and landing safely.
I did a about 20 hours before attending oxford, and I was only flying once every two weeks, great for learning the material and passing the exams but not so great when you get back into the aircraft as much of the feel and confidence has gone.
When I went to america I was flying everyday just about and so soon went solo within the recomended 12 hours.
My best advice would be to try and get a couple of lessons a week in for the repitition, if possible, then it will soon start clicking. If payment is a problem, ask to backseat a few trial flights or lessons, thats always a big help too.
Good Luck!
