Well, that's where we're headed. Now I know it's actually happening, and I've got over the shock, it's quite exciting. We plan to rent a flat in the centre of Edinburgh, near to the university for a while, then see if there's anywhere we want to, and can afford to, buy something. DH will start working up there in December, travel on Monday, back on Friday and stay with his sister in between. That will be hard . Then he'll find somewhere for us to live and we'll move in January. Phew.

Lenora, glad your assessment went so well. Sounds like your first half-semester has been a really positive experience. Enjoy your day off tomorrow.

Kerri, how's your staffing going? I need to dig out Christmas cards as well, and write a present list so I can concentrate on getting some shopping done. I'm trying to reserve the time when DD is in playgroup for my PhD, but some of it is going to have to go on Christmas stuff, or we may never make it

This week is a really heavy PhD week, but DH is teaching all week and feeling really wrung out after all his interviews and stress, as well has just having had a month solid of being in the lab, so I want to give him some cossetting as well.

Better jump to it!
