hi and welcome back, h!
you actually missed a discussion about whether it is sensible to get married during your PhD (or if you should preferrably marry before or after, because it is so distracting). so yes, i'm interested too - are you now Mrs.H?
how did it go? did you have a lovely wedding? did everything go as you wanted it? i hope the sun shone for you!
lets see, what did you miss - what stuck most with me is that some people didn't get the funding they were hoping for (pinkneuron, 404) and others passed their upgrades (would have to check to get all the names right!) but for a concise summary, ask piglet! she needs some distraction from her frustrating job situation so here's a challenge!
