Just to add my bit.. .. .I did PPL, IMC, night, Multi, ATPL Writtens and BCPL all whilst working full time. It's hard going and the trick is really to keep motivated, I then took a career break for three months to do the approved IR upgrade full time - thankfully I have an understanding boss.. .. .As said earlier, do not burn bridges and work hard. It took me three years in total, and it was done just about within budget. It's challenging but also very enjoyable.
