I passed! And it feels wonderful, if a little surreal. Thank-you to everyone who encouraged and reassured me- it made a big difference.

Thank-you all for your kind words of wisdom and support.
My viva is tomorrow afternoon and it's bath and bedtime for me now. I think I've done all that I can.

Magpie and Scatter, Thank-you so much for your advice.
I'm feeling a bit calmer, although am still terrified. I've reading all these posts over and over - they have a calming effect on me! 4 days to go...

Thanks Scatter
But.... my 'error' caused a misinterpretation of results...
I think I might be driving myself insane. I can't seem to eat, sleep or think straight right now. I'm going to search my cupboards for cans of coke and coconut macaroons.

Thanks for your encouragement Naturalme.
I hope you and Mrs Bilbo Baggins are right. My mistake seems so big and stupid to me though. It's really knocked my confidence....I'm wondering if the examinors really can pass me when I've made this kind of error (an error which led to misinterpretation of results).
I'm trying not to freak out too much....

Congratulations on passing your viva! I want to be you.

Oooh Sorry.
Was Bilbo Baggins a male character though? Or have I got that wrong too? :p
Thanks so much for your replies - I'm trying to calm myself down now. This time next week it'll all be over.

Thank-you Mr Baggins.
The thing is, it wasn't a typo- just a stupid contradiction. I stated that anything less than 0.1 would be considered significant in my anlaysis. Then in the very next sentence I write that my result of 0.07 wasn't considered significant.
I really feel like I've just been punched hard in the chest. What a stupid, stupid oversight! I'm so terrified my examinors will take one look at that and write me off.

Hello everyone.
I have my PhD viva in 6 days.
And I've just spotted a BIG error in a chapter of my thesis (I basically contricted myself in the silliest way). I'm horrified that I didn't spot it earlier- it makes me look like a total idiot.
I think the rest of the thesis is okay. Will I fail my viva because of this one mistake?
What should I do?
