In that case, at the very least, make sure you do the NPPL using the JAR written exams, so that you don't have to retake any written exams later.
Presumably there's still a large hours dispensation for silver C holders taking an NPPL? That used to exist for the PPL(A) under CAA, but vanished when JAR came along - retained only by national licences.
In the meantime, you obviously have a passion for flying. Given that, do yourself a huge favour and look around at all of the flying jobs available, not just airline flying as a future career. Airline flying pays well, but is potentially the worst job for somebody who really loves aviation.
