Thanks fore replies. I will definitely get my supervisor something as he has ben fantastic. Really liking the cactus idea but not too sure it would be fully appreciated. I will probably stick to a card and wine.

Are you buying your supervisor and anyone else who helped a lot a present?
What is appropriate? A bottle of wine?

Thanks for reply. I made some changes and emailed it as wanted it off my mind. I said as you suggested that I was grateful for his input, limited time etc. Hopefully now I can get on with getting it finished without feeling guilty/ worrying about it.
I am employed in same organisation and though might not have much to do with him in future, he has been quite supportive about HR matters in the past and I would prefer to keep on people's good sides if possible...

I am 3 days away from hand in of my masters thesis (research project 20,000 words) My supervisor has been great and I value and trust his judgement and opinion. He suggested that I email the results to another prof who panicked me and wanted me to make some changes which I didn't really think were necessary- reformatting tables in quite a major way, changing order of things and changing things that would need to be changed many times throughout. I don't really want to because time is of the essence and I think the time could be better spent as my supervisor is ok with the way I have done it already. I discussed it with him and some stuff he just said was matter of opinion and others were good ideas and others not to worry about. I was meant to email the other prof my results again but I can't bear to do it as I haven't made many of the changes he suggested. He is NOT my supervisor, his copy printed weird which didn't help, I had since redrafted it and sorted typos anyway, he did not realise I had so little time left. BUT... I don't want to offend him or be rude in disregarding his advice which I guess I am doing. What would you suggest. Sorry this is long!
