Wow it's a busy busy time for everyone with holidays, kids summer clubs, A level results et al.

I got a job offer (p/t) on Tues so I'm hoping the routine will help me to put more into the flying on my days when I'm not working.

For now I've still got a case study to finish by the end of the month and have this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon put aside to do it while Mum has the 3 kiddies. So I won't be flying much but at the end of September when I've passed (!) the viva I will only have a part time job to focus on so I feel really positive about joining in on ALL the flying tasks. It's amazing how essays and study scatters your energy.

TAG - that's great about your surprise finds. I know the same will happen to me when I start it in October.
