I felt I had to formally mark my first day, as I'm just back from registering as MPhil/PhD. For all you seasoned brains, can you remember your Day One? I'm still pinching myself, as I'm an old bird, with lots of kids, but somehow fully funded. Reason tells me it's all downhill from here, so just for today, I'm enjoying the view at the top :-)

Congratulations, I remember that feeling well! I felt exactly the same, couldn't quite believe my luck. I'm also a fully funded 'old bird' (only 2 kids though). :-) I've completed my first year and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far! Good luck with it all!

Ooops, I've just noticed that we've got exacly the same avatar! Maybe that's what 'an old bird' looks like? :-)

Thanks Moonblue, yup, your avatar's looking good too.
