Just got some good news and wanted to share :-) I have just won a £4000 grant!! My sup had said it was very unlikley and that I should apply keeping that in mind (And she never says something like that), but yippee!! I got it! I cant stop smiling as this will greatly help me finish up in the year ahead (first draft submission this August so trying for the final submission in March,w hich will be about 2 yrs and 6 months total)..this might help me give up some of the jobs, and might help me spend a bit more on myself!

:-)

Hey Bug, that's wonderful news! Well done indeed. Perhaps you will have a bit more time to chill in future.

BTW, any advice to pass on when applying for funding, you seem to be a miracle worker?;-)

Fantastic! If you don't ask, you don't get, it's always worth a punt 8-)

That's great Bug!!! Go celebrate now! ;-)

You've worked so hard these two years, I think you deserve to be more relaxed this year (as far as non-PhD work is concerned)!!!!!

Yay well done Bug, sounds like you're flying along there! Enjoy your success! Best, KB
