A PPL will set you back at least £9000.00 now in the UK. I would be very surprised if I saw for anything less. I know it depends on where you learn to fly. But all flying schools will say on their websites PPL for £7000 - but that's in minimum hours, with only 10 or 20 free landings and a couple of books. I'm training at Biggin, so expecting at least £10000.00 maybe a little more. With fuel going up i don't see prices reducing. Gone are the days of PPL's for £6000.00 to £7000.00 in the UK.
Also if your working, It would be very difficult to complete your PPL and hour building all in 9 months?! Unless you have cash reserves or your saving £2000.00 a month after tax. First you have the good old British weather to contend with ( I had to wait 8 weeks from February to March / April just to have one lesson because the weather was so rubbish!)

And if you do complete your PPl say within 6 months, you need another 90-100 hours to build in four months?! Ambitious, but not practical. Ride out the recession, pay as you go at a consistent but not overloaded level. There's time
