Countdown begins

 We've defended our thesis and reviewed another, so that's two steps closer to being finished. One week 'til deadline and we have loads of work left to do. And our examiner is a negative soul sucker and I'm not really certain we'll pass at this rate.

And one week later and I'm still ill with this bloody cold, can't sleep in our bed because something in the bedroom exacerbates my cough and I have a meeting booked next week to negotiate my future pay... yay. Not.
