Have you asked your instructor to explain the log book entries to you? He or she certainly should.
The figures you quote are for PPL training only. That is a basic license that will qualify you to act as pilot in command of a single engined aircraft, on private flights.
The £80k would be for training right through to frozen atpl which means ppl, atpl theory exams, cpl and instrument rating. Some flight schools would get you to this point for around £50k. Read the modular versus integrated thread for more detail.
You may also want to visit the GAPAN website. They have a good booklet on ways to become a pilot and also offer aptitude testing.
Good luck!
