Just to say 'happy christmas' to everyone! I know last year I was writing my thesis and managed to send out the final draft to my supervisors on christmas day (my personal goal!!) before enjoying a large glass of wine. So this year I will spare a thought for those busy studying and wish you all the best for the new year! Good luck to those preparing for final submission and vivas. (gift)(tree)

Hello D73

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you too!! I really do need the good luck wishes, it's as though you had me in mind when you sent this message! Hopefully, by next year, I should be in the position to say say 'I'd been there' as well.

Have a blast everynoe that reads this post! And please do contribute to my 'PhD probation' thread (PLEASE!!!)

Happy Christmas Dunni and all PhDs in the forum!

Indeed I was in the same position as you last year - actually I had my final draft ready at the end of January, so it was a working Christmas!

You will all get there - just stick to your guns!

Best wishes for a fulfilling 2012 everyone (tree)(gift)(snowman)(mince)

Happy Christmas everyone!

Happy Christmas to you all! I hope everyone enjoys their time off and good luck to those working throughout. (gift)(snowman)(tree)

Merry Christmas Dunni and to all on the forum; hope Santa was good and that everyone has a relaxing few days however you chose to spend it (tree)

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas. It's rather scary/exciting to think that I should be writing my thesis this time next year. Good luck to everyone who is at that stage now. (snowman)
