Well done Flock!

Ah, I remember it well...I did a weeks consolidation/revision in the Autumn, and did a single mock test where the nav was disastrous, easily the worst for several months. Not the way to set oneself up for the test. After 7 cancellations due to wx (including one fantastic day where the only thing stopping us was a runway 3" deep in snow ) I finally cracked it the following New Year.

Now all that stands beteen you and freedom is that eternal wait for the license to pop through the letterbox. 24 hours after mine arrived I was off for my first flight as a 'real' pilot!

Next stop - get the bookings in and fly as much as you can to gain confidence. Plan some nav trips, but also have some local jollies to hand for when you can't be ar5ed with the planning. Then find yourself a decent group. And then get a tailwheel rating. Then an IMC. Do a x-channel trip, or a trip to Ireland.....mouthwatering!
