96,341 words.
including the as of yet unchecked references.
it's all sent to the supervisors, though have not yet heard anything regarding this latest and hopefully (please god, please) last version.
if there are any further substantial amendments I will seriously cry.
things left to do: reference check, abstract, acknowledgements, list of tables and figures, list of abbreviations, formatting, final proof read, printing, SUBMISSION, Viva sometime after that and I'm not thinking about that now lalala.

because, for now: 96,341 words.
*shakes*

Wow... How many words. That is really good though. The end is definitely in sight.

So very many. 10,000 of those were written over Christmas, no lie. Now please keep your fingers crossed that getting the word count extension is as easy and quick as advertised 'just email us' which I have done...

Now I'm just really, really hoping it'll pass the muster with the supervisors...

Oh my god, don't even. I'm so nervous about it already. Denial is totally the name of the game until after the submission.

WOW. I am, as ever, in awe of your awesomeness. *huggles*

Shall I break out the sugary cocktails now, or do I wait until your nerves are fully composed?

I can't quite believe it myself either... *hugs*

Wait on the sugary cocktails until after the submission. Or possibly even after the Viva...

Gah, it is long and well over the word-limit though I've been told that getting an extension is only a case of sending an email... fingers crossed that that is true. Thank you!

Thank you. I feel mostly exhausted at the moment. Possibly the awesomeness will set in at some point...

Let's just hope that I get to keep all the words also... Fingers crossed for the word count extension, right?

See? All finished. You will be Doctor Kat before you know it!! And yes, the things left to be done are the boring bits. I'm sure there won't be major revisions at this stage. (((hugs you)))

I've been doing all the boring bits over the last few days... Don't dare to exhale quite yet until I hear from my supervisors properly (hunting them down tomorrow, possibly with a shotgun) *hugs*

ps. cleaning. would either thu or fri evening work? I'm invigilating afternoon exams, which will finish around 4 so could come over after that is that ok?

Either would work. I'm babysitting in Gorton on Thursday afternoon because Gail is having a tooth out at 2.00. but I should be home reasonably early and in any case well before the rush hour starts properly.

I have been thinking. Needless to say, the house is in great need of your ministrations after the 'break' but I'm wondering whether to make a plan of one week cleaning and one week packing/organising. A weekly clean isn't essential but a frequent long organising session is! This week will, of course, be a cleaning one!!

Let's make it Friday then. And yeah, that makes sense. Or I'll come once a fortnight for a whole day of cleaning plus packing/organising. We can sit down on Friday and plan :D

See you Friday, and of course there will be tea/dinner!

Thank you! Truly hoping victory is within my grasp and doesn't prove too slippery...

I am so excited for you! I'm going to be holding my breath that everything goes well and there is no last minutes surprises. ::hugs you::

I haven't dared to be excited yet... although I admit to looking at jobs I could apply to already... Thank you, hugs back.

HOORAY!

Fingers crossed it's the last version. And if you need someone to proofread (who knows very, very little about the general field), I offer my services.

Still waiting to hear from my supervisors if this is indeed the last version...

And omg, that is some generous of you, considering the length of this. I'll see if I need to make any changes to the content itself first and after that I may very well drop it in your inbox. Thank you very much for the offer!
