It sounds like you want to do it! Sometimes life too short to overworry, maybe you should say 'sod it' and do it anyway :-) if the people that matter have faith in your abilities then you should too! if you've got the support emotionally and financially, then your in a great position!

Ive gone the masters route and am currently applying for a scholarship for PhD. The more i think about it the more i want it and the more gutted i'll be if i dont, even when i try scaring myself out of it it doesnt work lol i still want to do it!

You have a great opportunity staring at you in the face!! Good luck with what ever you decide.

I wrote a proposal for my masters degree last august and was pretty happy with it, but i wasn't trying to get a scholarship! I'm planning on writing a PhD research proposal based on early modern women's history to apply for a scholarship place, ive got some outline ideas and i have a meeting with my current supervisor (who, coincidently would be my supervisor next year if this all goes to plan...) in the next day or two to discuss ideas. Can anyone offer me any advice on what to include in my proposal to help me win one of the scholarship places?

The ideas i have for my PhD proposal at the minute are closely linked and tie in with my Ba and Ma dissertation, so im not going in blind to a completely new subject, there is a far amount of continuation involved.
Ta!

Im current a masters student at Hull Uni, and this is were i also did my Ba degree, I've also had the same supervisor for both dissertations.

My supervisor has always known that I'd like to do a PhD, and seemed rather happy to have me back to supervise my masters dissertation. Anyway, leading on to what i want to say, she forwarded a copy of an email regarding scholarships for PhD's offered by the uni, and saying that she would be more than happy to supervise any of us (there are three of us working on similar subjects under her supervision). I know that she is a great supervisor and we get on really well, she knows my weaknesses and faults and has always been supportive. Her speciality is basically along the lines of what i want to base my PhD on too, i am also perfectly happy at Hull, the history department is great and friendly, and I am really happy there, and i realise i may be answering my own question here.

Has anyone else done their Ba, Ma and PhD all at the same uni? and potentially the same supervisor throughout? and if so have you found it to be detrimental to any future prospects?
Thanks!
