Hi ChrisPike.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are. Planning PPL(H), hour building, CPL(H) and FI, then IR if funds allow.
This thread is pretty interesting reading about how the industry has been over the last 10 years.
Where are you learning currently?
Have you managed to get a competent accountant on board to help you out with VAT etc?
Hope you're getting on ok!
