Take the rest of the night off and come back to it tomorrow with fresh determination! You can do it Delta!!!:p

(positive self talk)

I seem to have reached a crossroads. I'm not stressed by it, don't lack the motivation to do it (I want to get this over and done with), I know what I want to write but just can't get it down on paper. Any advice, tips etc?

I am so sorry to read that, I didn't know that could happen. I can't offer any advice as, to me, a PhD's worth can only be assessed by the individual completing it.

However, that's a horrible position you've been put in.

I hope you reach the best decision for you.

Great news, things seem to be falling into place for you, KB!

Well deserved and nice to read. :-)

Thanks Corinne! It worked and I'm delighted and less stressed thanks to you. (up)

I was given feedback via track changes. I made the changes on that copy and have tried to remove the tracking and although it seems to disappear, when I then copy the material and transfer it to another copy all the track changes reappear. Help!

Fantastic! ...and all the best with the interview this week and viva next week(up)

Must admit Ady, once my supervisor sees a full draft I don't expect any substantial feedback in relation to the structure and would say and do exactly as you have.

Sneaks, I'm sorry, that's terrible. Did your supervisor not have at least a reasonable idea of your thesis structure? I showed my supervisor what I intended to do in advance.

Excellent news, slowmo! Wishing you all the best. Dress comfortably but dress smart. Others on here better placed to advise I would think.

I can't better that advice from Bil. It has to be done and so no point in putting it off. Get it done, collect your PhD and look forward to the future!(up)

...and read in the first paragraph! You could be like me so tired from writing that I'm much more inclined to make mistakes.

Friday seems to have been a good day for many on here. Excellent news, Mel!

This is only my opinion but I wouldn't worry too much as they were very complimentary about what you had done (the quality seems to be there) but red tape and a need to cover their backs probably means they can't upgrade you officially until you have more data (you will get there!). Just doing things by the book most likely.
