Good on ya mate! Just in time for the weather to start changing, which can be frustrating, but my advice is: don't be in a rush, enjoy how long it takes to get your PPL... the more you learn, the safer you'll be when you get your license!
Have fun,

Yeah, enjoy - and well done for doing it off your own back. Took me a lot longer to manage that 
One question, what's the "PPL package"? That box full of Thom books, pens, plotters and a whiz-wheel from Transair? If so, don't bother with that now - save your money for lessons. All you need at the start is Thom book 1 (or Pratt, if you prefer) and a logbook. Don't bother with the rest of the books until you do the exams (and remember that exam passes have a limited lifespan, which may be important if you are doing things slowly), the Nav kit until you're off on navexs etc. Ask around the clubhouse and you'll probably be able to pick up most of it secondhand from other students anyway....
